Spring Cove School District

Rachel Sackett was awarded a Venture Grant by the Dragon Pride Foundation entitled The Dragon Laces Project. First-grade students are encouraged to learn the important life skill of tying their own shoes. Students who successfully demonstrate their shoe-tying skills become official members of the Dragon Laces Shoe Tying Club, receive a certificate and colorful new shoelaces, and add their name to the Dragon Laces poster. These students are now role models for their peers and can help others learn this valuable skill.

What a great way to celebrate the end of another successful school year at SCE! ☀️🎉
Students enjoyed an action-packed Fun Day filled with inflatables, carnival games, water games, yard games, face painting, and plenty of smiles and laughter along the way.
A special shoutout and heartfelt thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make this day possible. Your time, energy, and support created a memorable experience for our students and helped make the day a huge success!

Congratulations to Central High School Sophomores, Blake Frye, Hailey Fries, and Kenly Bennett who graduated from the Leadership Blair County Youth Program sponsored by the Blair County Chamber of Commerce. Also pictured is CHS School Counselor, Mrs. Victoria Reighard, who assists students with making application to this valuable leadership opportunity.

In Mr. Fitzpatrick’s physics classes, students apply principles of structural engineering and physics to design, test, and optimize a balsa wood bridge structures utilizing ModelSmart Bridge software and balsa bridge kits. Through the engineering design process, students analyzed forces such as tension and compression, evaluated bridge efficiency, and developed problem-solving and collaboration skills while constructing a bridge that maximized strength-to-weight ratio. These bridges, if designed and constructed effectively, hold over 100 pounds.
