Happy Friday the 13th!!!

It's hard to believe that we are already halfway through the first quarter, mid-term reports will be sent home along with MAP Assessment Scores this Tuesday. Thank you, parents, for dropping off your student(s) before 7:35 am each morning, doors open at 7:10. We are still averaging 95% attendance for the year, great job! If your son/daughter misses school or is tardy please provide one of your five parent notes or doctor's excuse to homeroom teachers or email scms.attendance@spencer.kyschools.us.

Congratulations to our new Student Leadership Team members who completed interviews this week: 6th Graders - Kaitlyn Fishburn, Kynnedy Murphy, Lila Snyder, and Emma Stinson. 7th Grade - Kirby Oerther, Abigail Limpp, Allie Tyler, Presley Truax, and Easton Stark. 8th Grade - Haper Wcisel, Bryce Sears, Sydney Sponsler, Aria Sanford, Casey Schneidtmiller, Josue Guerra Rios, Ben Blankenship, and Ruby Bradbury.

The 6th Grade Mixer will have a 90's theme, we will randomly be playing some 90's hits next week to get kids in the spirit. PTSO will be setup on Wednesday as the last chance to buy presale tickets for $8, $10 at the door.
