We want to give a heartfelt "thank you" to the Scarpitti Foundation for once again providing joy in the hearts of our students with their generosity.
B.L. Miller Elementary School students took home books for free thanks to a partnership between The Carl & Josie Scarpitti Foundation and Scholastic Books. The foundation provided a $20 credit to all pre-K through sixth-grade students to spend on new books at the school’s Scholastic Book Fair.
The funds for each student to purchase books were donated in memory of Suzanne Scarpitti, the eldest child of Carl & Josie, who passed away in April and would have turned 80 on October 26.
The foundation also provided funds to line basketball courts at B.L. Students have been enjoying their new basketball courts all year!
We are grateful for the books the foundation put in the hands of our little Trojans and for the fun their support has provided with our basketball courts! Thank you, Scarpitti Foundation!

#WhatWeAreLearning:
Our district recognizes the crucial role social-emotional learning plays in our Trojans' success. Throughout the year, we implement curriculum that teaches our students how to connect with each other, make positive choices, and help the community around them. A well-supported Trojan is a successful Trojan!
One example of our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum is a program called "Start with Hello". This program encourages meaningful and respectful connections between students. Pictured, is one of the "Start with Hello" activities. Students created a post-it display with positive messages to take for themselves or give to a fellow Trojan. We hope to keep the conversation going all year long!

SEBRING SHOUT-OUT:
Mrs. Mathias’ Success and Wellness students have been hard at work this year on the Trojan Pantry. The pantry has expanded its offerings thanks to the incredible support of The Second Harvest Food Bank, The United Way, and our community. Along with pantry item staples, after-school snacks have been added to the shelves. Mrs. Mathias’ students keep track of the pantry’s inventory, place orders, stock shelves, and deliver food items to classrooms. We are proud of our Trojans for giving back to their school community.
