A MESSAGE FROM THE SCPA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
|
|
|
Dear SCPA Family,
It’s with mixed emotion that I share this news with you (also, see CPS Press Release below, and Enquirer article link:) On September 3rd, the Northwestern Michigan College (NMC) Board of Trustees voted to select me to become the next president of NMC, effective January 1, 2020.
Obviously, it’s with great excitement that I say ‘yes’ to this new beginning. And, at the same time, I have a feeling of loss with the ending of my time serving the mission of SCPA. The SCPA Family has worked passionately and relentlessly during the past five years, as we’ve pursued our vision of artistic and academic excellence, executing our Strategic Plan 2020. Between now and the end of December, I will be working together with CPS and the SCPA Fund to ensure a smooth transition. And, most of all, ensuring that SCPA’s Leadership Team, Teachers/Staff, Parents, Alumni, Donors/Funders, and Partners are positioned and supported to continue the work of enabling student success.
Of course, we’ll plan to say farewells in December. As for now – let’s continue doing the work we began, together!
Nick

SCPA TEACHER BRINGING THE WORLD INTO THE CLASSROOM
|
|
|
SCPA teacher Ms. Dawnetta Hayes is literally going to the ends of the earth for her students. In October she will be travelling to the Galapagos Islands!
Ms. Hayes has earned a coveted National Geographic Teacher Fellowship. This is her second time earning such a prestigious fellowship with the National Geographic Society. Back in 2015 she travelled on a 15-day expedition to the British and Irish Isles on a National Geographic ship, selected from 1300 applicants.
Why does she do it? Ms. Hayes said, “What I value more than anything is ensuring that my students are exposed to the world and the people around them. Whether this be via my travels or taking students on field experiences in the great outdoors. I want them to know that their world is larger than their neighborhood, and their future is brighter than their current circumstance.”

SCPA TEACHER RECEIVES AWARD
|
|
|
The Cincinnati City Council honored a teacher and labor leader who has made a significant contribution to our City … and the recipient of the formal city resolution is SCPA teacher, Jane Simon. Jane is the longest standing active teacher in the CPS District, and Political Committee Chairwoman for the Cincinnati Federation of Teachers. But, as Mayor Cranley and Council Member P.G. Sittenfeld said, its Jane’s big heart that is most appreciated. Given how many of Jane’s colleagues and students’ parents filled City Hall, it’s obvious that Jane’s deep sense of care for others is very much appreciated.
