A Day at the Lake

The first and second graders enjoyed a glorious day at Lake Katherine Nature Center in Palos Heights recently. They participated in an adventure called “Discover the Gardens.” They explored the woods, prairies, and herb garden. Students conducted a water experiment with thermometers and the lake temperature. They played with a live frog, measured prairie grasses and smelled herbs. The students also examined lichens, mosses, conifers and flowers. Everyone enjoyed a day of exploration and fun. They even went on a hayride and saw a real waterfall.

SBCA Supports Breast Cancer Awareness

On Wednesday, October 26, Student Council sponsored a football dress day. For the cost of $1.00 teachers and students wore football jerseys or anything pink to help raise money for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. A total of $105.00 was collected for the cause.

 

Thanksgiving at SCBA

What I Am Thankful For

By Mattie Hughes, SBCA Student

 

Oh my, oh my! How times goes by!

I’m thankful for my joy and pride,

My mom, my dad, my family,

My food, my shelter, my insanity!

 

The more I learn, the more I know

That God is with me wherever I go.

I’m thankful for the things He’s done,

Because each will help us one by one!

Our students experienced an exciting approach to learning about healthy, active lifestyles at the Bulls/Sox Training Academy in Lisle, Illinois on December 7.

They learned about health and nutrition at the Media Center, participated in fun obstacle courses, hi-tech video drive exercises as well as a video game and exercise room to experience the power of “exergaming.”
