Sand Creek students were presented with the TRADES award (formerly work habits) during the first marking period of the 2021-2022 school year at the LISD TECH Center. Positive TRADES are a key component of LISD TECH Center curriculum constituting 15% of the students’ grades. These students have demonstrated teamwork, responsibility, attitude, dependability, effort, and safety in their respective programs. If you see one of these students, recognize and commend them for a job well done!

Sand Creek Student Government was able to secure a grant (courtesy of the Lenawee Community Foundation) for a Basic Needs Pantry. The Jr/Sr High Counseling Department has started to build the ‘pantry’ with gently used clothing items and have purchased other generic items. Clothes and other smaller items are available such as shoes, hygiene products, socks/ underwear, etc. for students to choose from when requested. If your son/daughter or member of your family needs items please feel free to fill out the form following the link. This will be kept completely confidential and will be monitored by the school counselor. This link is also available on the Counseling page and on 6-12 ELA teachers google classroom. Your child will be given these items privately and discreetly. While this grant was secured by the high school student government, please feel free to fill out the form if you have an elementary student and the school counselor will get the items to the elementary. If you have questions or concerns please contact Rachel Myers (Student Government Advisor) rachel.myers@sc-aggies.us or Abby Slusher (School Counselor) Abigail.Slusher@sc-aggies.us. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm_d827nik36vUZS4qzuSJt9xShLqI3w8Q1TXKqTJvMiMLVA/viewform?usp=sf_link

This morning an adult male, who appeared to be intoxicated, stopped at both our Elementary and our Jr./Sr. High School buildings separately, requesting access to walk through the buildings. He was not allowed to do this and was asked to leave and has not been back. We contacted the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Department to report the incident. At no time were our students in danger and all is well. We will contact the Sheriff’s Department if he should return. As a reminder, all building doors are kept locked throughout the day and anyone wanting access to either building must be buzzed in by office staff. Both offices are aware of this incident.

Sand Creek Community Schools is looking for a qualified candidate to fulfil the Play director position at Sand Creek Jr./Sr. High School. Please click link for further details: https://5il.co/10nua

We have a Friday Night Homecoming Football game!!! The Beal City Aggies are coming to the Creek for a 7:00 match-up. Reminder...prior to the game we will honor Gaylord & Penny Herriman.

Regardless of the weather, get ready for some football and fun!

Morenci has had to forfeit coming to Friday’s Homecoming game due to contact tracing from COVID-19 protocols. Mr. Wright is working on securing another team for us to play. As of this moment we are still planning on having a game if we can find an opponent. We will keep you posted as details as they become available.

On Friday, October 15th, the Sand Creek Community Schools, in cooperation with the Sand Creek Athletic Boosters, will conduct a recognition ceremony and tribute to Penny & Gaylord Herriman for a lifetime of service and dedication to the Sand Creek athletic program and generations of Aggie athletes. The ceremony will take place at approximately 6:40 pm on Ayers Field prior to the start of the varsity football game with Morenci. Penny and Gaylord's sacrifice and commitment to improving the athletic opportunities for Sand Creek students left an indelible mark on our athletic facilities. Although Penny is no longer with us, she will never be forgotten...she is forever in our hearts...forever an Aggie. We will honor Gaylord and Penny (posthumously) with the placement of a permanent plaque near the pavilion on the south side of campus.
