I hope
everyone
had a
wonderful, and relaxing Thanksgiving
break. It sure did zoom by to me and I
know the next three weeks will do the
same as we buckle down for the last few
weeks of the semester and the numerous
activities that fill SCAPA’s calendar.
Today, the University of Kentucky’s
MIC Program is sending nine students to
shadow some of our students in the
middle school. The MIC Program stands
for Master of Arts in Secondary
Education with Initial Certification. This
program accepts bachelor-degreed
students in fields other than education and
gives those students a chance to earn their
masters degree and a teaching certificate.
The program takes one-year to complete,
yet it is very intensive requiring 34 hours
of credits. Students in the MIC Program
can earn their teaching certificate in one
of five areas: Business/Marketing,
English, Mathematics, Science, or Social
Studies. Our first middle school social
studies teacher, Dr. Jeanette Groth, is one
of the program coordinators. Please
welcome the visiting students as they see
what an awesome place SCAPA is.
Have a good week,
Beth
Art Lease at the
Bodley-Bullock House
On Friday, November 19th, SCAPA’s art department participated in the
Gallery Hop downtown. The prominent Bodley-Bullock House, located in the
heart of downtown Lexington at 200 Market Street across from the Carnegie
Center for Literacy and Learning,
featured 96 pieces of artwork created by
our fourth through eighth graders. The
crowd that perused the exhibit was
terrific and we leased 33 of those pieces
that night. In addition to the pieces
leased immediately, some good contacts
were made and we are hoping some
more pieces will be leased in the next few
weeks. Excellent work Mr. Love, Mrs. Rizzo, and all the art students.

Gingerbread Houses Come to
SCAPA
The fourth graders made their annual
gingerbread houses on Tuesday before
the Thanksgiving break. As always, the
students and parent volunteers had loads
of fun constructing the magical (and
delicious) creations. Although sticky
beyond belief, these houses are made with
love and go to support a great cause – The
Salvation Army. The houses will be
decorations for the season and then auctioned
off with the proceeds going to the help the
homeless in Lexington that use the facilities on
Main Street. Thanks Sandy, Ruthie, and
Paula Shafer, as well as Mrs. Waterbury-Gunn
and Mr. Beers for always making time for this
fabulous community service project.
