Cougar Courier

Greetings from Dr. Garcia!

September 14, 2019

As we continue to explore the IB attribute of being open minded, think about opportunities to discuss this attribute with your scholars. Our school is rich in diversity which provides students with the amazing opportunity to learn about others. We are hopeful that having an open mind about differences will help our scholars develop a global perspective. In addition to being open-minded, we are encouraging our scholars to be nice in the halls, classroom, cafeteria, playground, and greater community. We hope you can talk to your scholars about ways they can be nice at school and at home.


Community Support


Our Lady Cougar Volleyball team will be having bakes sales on September 16th, 23rd, and 28th. They are raising funds for the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk. The bake sales will take place at school from 4:30-7:00 pm on the 16th and 23rd. The bake sale on the 28th will take place at the volleyball tournament. We hope you can help support this important cause.


Uniform Reminders


Scholars should be in uniform every day. The administrative team will communicate when there is a dress down day. Headbands are allowed but please do not allow scholars to wear bandanas to school. Slides/sandals are not allowed.


Backpack Program


The Salvation Army's Backpack Program provides weekend meals throughout the school year to families whose children attend several local schools. CIA is one of the schools that participates. The goal of the backpack outreach program is to provide balanced, nutritional meals to children in our area. If you are interested in participating in the program, please email your child's teacher or Dr. Garcia (ngarcia@sbcsc.k12.in.us).


It's a Great Day at Clay


It's back! Here is the first edition of the student video series: It's a Great Day at Clay. Thank you to our Digital Integration Specialist, Chad Gish, who works with our students to create the show.
