🐣✨ A Full-Circle Moment, Five Years in the Making! ✨🐣
Five years ago, when schools closed early due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our current fifth-grade students missed out on a beloved elementary tradition—caring for hatching chicks. Today, they finally got their chance… and it was worth the wait! 💛
For the past 21 days, our kinder students have been learning about the life cycle of chicks while simultaneously observing and caring for their own hatchlings. This morning, our fifth graders buddied up with our kindergarten students for a special day filled with chick-themed fun:
📚 Reading stories about chicks
🎨 Making adorable chick crafts
🐥 And of course… cuddling and playing with the real chicks!
The highlight? One little chick hatched right before their eyes in Mrs. Stephens’ room! 🌟
Seeing our fifth graders lead with kindness and joy as they shared this moment with our youngest learners was truly magical. The smiles, the giggles, the wide-eyed wonder—it’s what learning is all about. 🙌🏼🤍
The 2024-2025 school year may be winding down, but it’s never too early to get ready for next year!

👉 Update or confirm your student’s contact details
👉 Review their health history
👉 Request busing for next school year
Remember — Online Verification is REQUIRED for every student in the #SCCSD, even if your information hasn’t changed.

We hope you had a wonderful spring break. We can’t wait to finish out the year strong with all of our #SCCSD families!
A grateful colleague said this about Mrs. Stephens, “Mrs. Stephens consistently goes above and beyond in supporting her students, not only academically but also socially and emotionally. She dedicated countless hours researching effective ways to meet the diverse needs of her students, and she holds herself to the highest standards in everything she does. Beyond her work with students, one of her greatest strengths is her ability to be a supportive, positive, and welcoming presence in the Nodland building. She genuinely cares about the well-being of everyone around her, taking the time to ask colleagues about their families and lives outside of school. It’s clear Jenny has one of the biggest hearts at Nodland, and that something I really appreciate about her!”
