South Central is pleased to have been awarded $221,440 for the Indiana Department of Education's Career Pathways Grant! These grant dollars will help pay for the implementation of the new high school welding program starting in the 2022-2023 school year. We are appreciative of American Welding and Gas and the LaPorte Economic Advancement Partnership (LEAP) who have been partners in this grant.

The Indiana Department of Education awarded a total of 97 schools and community partners with more than $57 million in Explore, Engage, and Experience (3E) grant funding. The grant will aid Indiana schools and local partners as they work to strengthen, expand, and create effective career pathways throughout students' K-12 learning. You can read the full press release on the IDOE website.

Dear South Central Elementary Families,

For the past several years, South Central has partnered with the LaPorte YMCA to offer after-school care for our students. Starting in the 2022-2023 school year, the YMCA will no longer offer after-school care for our students.

Little Dreamers, located at 7407 W. US-30 in Wanatah, has space available for South Central Elementary students who need after-school care. If you utilize Little Dreamers for after-school care, your child will be able to ride the bus from South Central to Little Dreamers on a daily basis. All the details of the program including the cost should be discussed with Sandra Wood, owner of Little Dreamers. The phone number for Little Dreamers is (219) 733-2800. We are very grateful for Sandra and her willingness to host our students for after-school care. If your child will be attending after-school care at Little Dreamers, you will need to let the elementary office know the days your child will be riding the bus to Little Dreamers.

I hope you are all having a great summer!

Sincerely,

Nick Kimmel, Elementary Principal
