Lost and Found: Due to our ever-changing South Carolina winter weather – we have accumulated a large collection of lost and found items. There will be a table with these items in the parking lot near the front office entrance at SAR from 7:30-8:30 AM tomorrow and Thursday of this week (February 16 & 17). Please stop by and check it out. If your child rides the bus, please have them check with the office (or reply to this email) and we will help them look for their missing item. Anything that is not claimed by Monday will be donated to the Campus Wear Closet.
Explore the Unique Qualities of Gen Z at the upcoming Parent Summit: This summit will be held on Thursday, February 24, 8:30-10:00 am at the Jones Center at Columbia International University. Dr. Jennifer Pilpe, Director of Faculty and Academics Grades 9 through 12, will be presenting. Each generation presents characteristics that distinguish it from those previous. Most of today’s students, born between 1997 and 2012, are members of Generation Z (Gen Z) and have grown up in a post-Recession world where technology is as commonplace as sweet tea in the South. Join us as we explore the unique qualities of Gen Z and what characterizes them as students, young adults, and people of faith.
