Juniors had the opportunity to participate in SouthPoint Budget City to get a real-world experience of budgeting for a month. Each student was given a job, potentially a spouse or kids, and had to purchase items like housing, transportation, food and other needs. Thank you to SouthPoint Financial for hosting and to our volunteers for helping.

This week we celebrate our wonderful School Nurses! We are grateful for all the ways they support our students at USC! Thank you!

Mixing Teacher Appreciation Week with some of our mental health awareness to focus on gratitude! Students in grades 7-12 were able to send a note of gratitude to a teacher who they appreciate! They were able to take a sticker with a positive message to keep spreading the awareness in May!

We all have mental health every day. Achieving or maintaining mental wellness takes work, and research has found several ways that you can keep yourself healthy. Check out these Keys to Mental Well-being from Berkely University Greater Good Magazine (https://greatergood.berkeley.edu/key) #YouMatterMN

Friday was School Lunch Hero Day and a few USC School Board Members were on hand to assist in serving lunch!

Students were able to spend the day at South Central College for a hands-on career exploration event. Students spent 45 minutes in each of the five areas: Auto Body, Welding, HVAC, Machine Tool Trades and Agriculture & Diesel Service.

The sun was shining long enough for our 9-12th grade students to spend time outside giving back to our communities. Over 20 groups went out this week to do service projects throughout our district! Thank you High School Students and Teachers for all your hard work!

Join us in celebrating our School Lunch Heroes today! Our Lunch Heroes truly make our cafeteria and school a better place to be and we are very grateful for all they do!
