This requires a vote from all dues paying members with 2/3 in majority to pass.  We will announce this Special meeting to coincide with our Annual Meeting.  We will send an electronic vote out right after our annual meeting and it will be open until Midnight on January 28th to give those members a chance to cast their ballot.

Please Note: The meeting agenda and proposed bylaw change will be posted & announced on our Facebook page and sent via email prior to our Annual Meeting.

The SCPA MORE program (Men, Organized, Respectful, and Educated) had an amazing night out this January at the University of Cincinnati! For the second year in a row the 4-6 and 7 and 8 grade MORE program was invited back to UC for a college tour and a basketball game.

All the boys who attended the trip had to be on A/B Average. They dressed in their shirts and ties, got free pizza and drinks, college tour of UC, got to play football in Nippert Stadium, tickets to a UC basketball game, got to be on TV, and got the chance to meet some of the players on the team! It’s amazing what Alumni VP, Joshua Trotter and Teacher Joe Ciani is able to do for our kids in this program!

Shout out to the other positive gentlemen in the SCPA building for Attending and helping with the tour. Mr. Trotter (2nd Grade TA), Mr. Ciani (5th Grade Teacher), Mr. Gerard (Technical Theater), Mr. Quinn (Main Office) , Mr. Graves (Custodial), and Mr.Harris (Security)
