SCA saysThank You!

The talent show that was hosted by the SCA on March 20th during the assembly was a huge success. Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event so successful and entertaining. Through entry fees and donations at the door, SCA students collected $250.00 to be donated to The Up Center for Camp Horizon. SCA students are hoping the funds collected will help send a disabled child to summer camp. Thank you to everyone that donated their talent and funds to support our efforts!
