Message from the Principals:
November is a special month because we are reminded to be grateful and thankful for all the wonderful things in our lives. This year we are especially thankful for the SCES community. We have wonderful parents, hard working staff members and ABSOLUTELY THE BEST students. We are so blessed to spend everyday with your children. They keep us smiling and make all the hard work, worth while. We hope that you and your family find time to share what you are thankful for during this special season.
This November we will be hosting our first Annual Stony Creek Turkey Trot! This will be a Fun Run to raise money for our school. Whenever you are finished fundraising you can send in your pledge sheet and money. Checks must be made out to Antietam School District.

World Kindness Day is a holiday that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. The purpose of this day is to help everyone understand that kindness is what binds us all together. We are excited to celebration World Kindness day with Kindness Week activities and spirit days!
Kindness Week Activities
Hello SCES families! November is the month of World Kindness Day and in honor of spreading kindness among our mini-Mounts, the counseling team is putting together school-wide activities that will focus on teaching our students how they can be kind to themselves, and to others. We look forward to the participation of our students and families during these events!
If you have any questions or would like additional information about the lessons or activities, please do not hesitate to contact me at trecke@antietamsd.org or 610-779-0377 ext. 1200. If you have any concerns about your child(ren) please do not hesitate to contact. I am always here to help!
School Based Counseling
We are continuing to offer School Based Counseling services through Betterview Counseling. This is a service best described as a professional therapist that your student would see during the school day, which saves you the time of having to take them to a counseling office after school.
Here is a link for information and to the referral process: Antietam School District - Betterview Counseling and Trauma Recovery LLC
As always, if you have any questions about this service, you can always reach out to me (Mr. Recke). I am happy to answer your questions!
If you have any health forms that have been sent home with your student, please return them as soon as possible. Many of these forms are very important for us to have on file while they are with us in the building. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
If your child is sick with flu like symptoms (fever, vomiting, has diarrhea, etc.) please do not send them to school. Your child must be home, free of symptoms, for 24 hours before they are permitted to return to school.
Please send your student with an extra outfit in their backpack. Bathroom accidents and lunch room spills do happen and having a pair of their own clothes to change into can help ensure that they are comfortable the rest of the day.
