Students from Seminole County Middle High School represented our school well at today’s Social Studies Fair in Albany, Georgia. All participants earned first place in their individual categories, allowing each project to advance to the State Social Studies Fair.
In overall class placements, Katherine Lanier earned third place, while Ja’Khia Lewis and Abigail Mathis earned second place. Also advancing to state are Cason Gross, Caleb Kelly, and Julianna Bullock, who was part of the second-place Lewis and Mathis project but was unable to attend the fair.

"Spring" Into Self Care
Our counseling department recently hosted a “Spring into Self-Care” event in the lunchroom to help students focus on healthy ways to manage stress and take care of themselves. Students wrote their personal self-care strategies on paper flowers that will be displayed around the school as a reminder to prioritize their well-being. They were also given handouts with helpful self-care ideas to use when feeling stressed or overwhelmed — especially important as testing season approaches. We appreciate the efforts of our counseling team, including Kimber Sellers (High School), school social worker Bianca Bright, Megan Baldwin (GA Pines APEX), and Haley Rykard (Middle School), for supporting our students’ mental and emotional wellness.

Five Star Credit Union Teaches Students the Basics of Banking
Middle and high school students at the Seminole Learning Center recently had the opportunity to learn real-world financial skills during a special visit from representatives of Five Star Credit Union. The presentation focused on the Basics of Banking, helping students understand essential financial concepts such as managing a bank account, saving responsibly, and making informed financial decisions.
During the session, students also received hands-on instruction on how to properly write a check — an important life skill that supports financial independence and responsibility. Presenters engaged students through practical examples and interactive discussion, allowing them to ask questions and connect banking concepts to everyday life.
This partnership reflects the district’s commitment to preparing students for success beyond the classroom by providing meaningful financial literacy experiences and practical life skills.

Cason Gross Serves as Legislative Page
Cason Gross traveled to the Georgia State Capitol on March 12th to serve as a Legislative Page for Representative Gerald Greene, assisting members of the Georgia House of Representatives during the legislative session. The Legislative Page Program is an important service that supports both legislators and the public. For more than 50 years, the program has provided students with a unique opportunity to experience state government firsthand while creating a meaningful connection between Georgia’s elected leaders and young students.
As a page, Cason served as a “runner” in the Capitol, delivering important messages and information to members in the House Chamber throughout the legislative session day. Students participating in the program are assigned to serve on days when the Georgia General Assembly is in session and attend a brief orientation before beginning their duties.
This experience allows students to observe the legislative process up close and learn more about how state government works. Cason is the son of Casey and Amanda Gross.

Osceola Grind Cafe is Open for Business
The Osceola Grind Café is now open for business at Seminole County Middle High School, bringing smiles — and specialty coffees — to teachers each Friday. CTI and Work Force Ready students take drink orders during the week, prepare customized coffees, and deliver them throughout campus.
This hands-on project gives students valuable real-world experience in operating a small business. Students are learning how to calculate costs and profits, manage inventory and supplies, organize orders, and practice strong customer service skills. They are also developing important employability skills such as communication, teamwork, time management, problem-solving, and workplace professionalism.
This week, Miss Raniyah Smith was caught in action as she prepared drinks and delivered orders to front office staff. Under the leadership of Mrs. Kaylah Andrews, CTI and Work Force Ready students are gaining confidence and practical job skills that will benefit them far beyond the classroom. The Osceola Grind Café is quickly becoming a favorite tradition while helping students prepare for future success in the workforce.
