  Today is an “A” day.

  
  

  *Student Council would like to thank everyone for their support and donations during their last fundraiser.  Because of your support of Operation Snowflake, they were able to raise over $50 to donate to Boxes of Love, an organization that sends care packages to soldiers who are serving overseas.  Thanks Scott Students!  You make a difference each day!

  *Science Olympiad is doing a Crab Rangoon fundraiser after school on Friday, January 7.  Students will be selling hot, crispy Crab Rangoon for 50 cents each at all grade entrances.  Thanks for supporting Science Olympiad!

  *Today is the last day for 7^th Grade Intramural Basketball tryouts.  Tryouts will take place from 3:10-4:30 pm.  8^th Grade Boys tryouts will take place tomorrow, January 7 and Tuesday, January 11 from 3:10-4:30 pm.  There will be NO tryouts on Monday, January 11 due to the MLK celebration set- up taking place.

  *Attention 8^th graders:  It is NOT too late to join 70 of your classmates as they visit Washington, DC and Philadelphia April 16-21 with the Close Up Foundation.  See that history that you have studied in the classroom this year come alive with your classmates and friends.  You don’t want to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!    See Mr. Ells or Mr. Murphy before next Friday, January 14 if you want to be a part of the largest Close Up group ever from Scott Middle School!

  *Attention 7^th and 8^th graders:  Do you like working with animals?  Do you want to get great leadership experience?  The Lincoln Children’s Zoo is currently taking applications for this summer’s Zoo Crew Program.  See your grade level counselor for an application.

  *What’s all the buzz about?  This year’s annual Lincoln Public Schools District Spelling Bee will be held Saturday, February 12, 2011 at Culler Middle School.  The District Spelling bee is for students in grades six through eight and is sponsored by the Lincoln Journal star, Godfather’s Pizza and Ventures in Partnership.  Scott students interested in participating should get a registration form from their English/Language Arts teacher.  Registrations are due January 31, 2011.

  *Today’s inspiring words for you to consider come from Mrs. Jones, “Success is when preparation meets opportunity!”
