Dear SCMS Parents, Guardians and Students,
As we move into November, I want to take a moment to share how proud we are of our students and the progress they continue to make each day. It is a privilege to watch our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We appreciate the hard work of our students, the dedication of our staff, and the continued support of our families and community in making SCMS a positive place to learn and grow.
Our Lifeline focus for this month is Gratitude. Gratitude is about recognizing and appreciating the people, opportunities, and positive experiences in our lives. As we approach Thanksgiving, it is a great time to remind our students of the importance of being thankful and expressing appreciation to others. A simple thank-you, a kind word, or an act of kindness can make a meaningful difference. By practicing gratitude, we help our students develop stronger relationships, a positive attitude, and a greater appreciation for the people who support them each day.
As always, we welcome open communication and partnership with our parents and community. We believe that working together is essential to providing every student with the best possible educational experience. Please never hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, or ideas that can help us better support your child.
Thank you for your continued trust and support of Switzerland County Middle School. We are grateful for our students, families, staff, and community, and we look forward to another great month at SCMS!
Do the Right Thing!
Sincerely,
Mark Boggs
Principal, Switzerland County Middle School
