SCCS Home Bulletin

The mission of Sioux Center Christian School is to disciple God’s children by equipping them with a knowledge and understanding of Christ and His creation so that they can obediently serve God and others as they work and play.

Every Student TREASURED, Every Student TRAINED, Every Student TRANSFORMED

My dad told stories and read stories to us.

I have a tattered Children's Bible in my office: no cover, the binding is nonexistent, some pages have crayon scribbled across them, and it is probably missing pages. We read from that story Bible throughout my childhood. It's a small reminder of what my dad left me.

What stories are you sharing with your kids? Are you sharing how your story fits into God's grand story? I am grateful my dad did. I want to encourage you to do the same with your kids.

The Story Bible that my family used is small, but the inheritance my father left me was more than I could ever have imagined.

Proverbs 13:22, "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children."

We welcome Mark Buss and Kim Brenner to SCCS! Mark is our new Head Custodian and Kim is one of the assistant managers at Outlet 75. We are grateful they will be serving at SCCS!

This Friday, Sept. 20, is one of the Fridays that the alternate bus route will be run since the public school has an early dismissal. If your child rides the afternoon route, they may be getting off a different bus number or arriving home at a different time than normal. Teachers will have a list to make sure students know if they ride an alternate bus.

• Please check the online calendar for upcoming events (http://www.siouxcenterchristian.com/calendar.cfm)
• Each Wednesday, SCCS dismisses at 2:05 for teacher professional development.
• Students may ride a different bus for daycare purpose only. Parents must write a note, email or call the office to get a bus pass for your child. If you need to contact the transportation director for any reason, call 722-2481.
• Please make sure your child knows their after school plans before they leave home in the morning! Thank you!

A reminder to not use the "no Parking" areas on 2nd Ave as a drop off location. We need to keep the area close to the intersection clear of stopped vehicles.

Bikes and walkers need to make sure they cross at the crosswalks and push the button to get the flashing lights before they proceed across the street.

Another reminder to slow down as you bike or scooter on the trails and sidewalks. Office Munneke has noticed that electric scooters on trails are going at too high of speeds which can create a potential for accidents with others using the trail. Please be considerate to all who use our wonderful trails around Sioux Center!

Storyline chapels will be the first Wednesday of the month at 1:35pm in the gym. Students are expected to wear their Storyline shirts! Parents and guests are WELCOME to attend! You can also watch the livestream/recording here (siouxcenterchristian.com > Current Families > Livestream Links)...

• If you would like to eat lunch with your child, please contact the school 24 hours in advance of when you would like to eat. The cost for a lunch is $5.00 and can be paid as you go through the lunch line. Thank you!

Do you desire to make an immediate and eternal impact on children’s lives through prayer? Moms in Prayer groups meet every Tuesday at First CRC in Sioux Center while school is in session. They pray for every student and every teacher throughout the school year. The Grandmother’s Prayer group meet from 9:30-10:30am in the Fireside room and the College/Career Prayer group meets from Noon – 1pm.

There currently isn’t a Sioux Center Christian Mom’s in Prayer group – if you would have interest in restarting this important group, please call Rachel Raih at 712-441-0885 (she is an SCCS grandma and the Heartland Division Coordinator for Moms in Prayer). Small groups of friends could join together or grade-level moms could meet at various times. There are prayer guide sheets that highlight the character of God as you pray for His kids and His school. It doesn’t have to be on Tuesdays – there are options available to keep up this vital prayer support for God’s kids at SCCS! https://momsinprayer.org/
