SMCA Daisy Girl Scouts Plant a Tree

At Six Mile Charter Academy, our Daisy Girl Scout Troop 551 wanted to improve their community. More importantly, their school community. With the money they made from selling Girl Scout Cookies, they donated a tree to the school. It is a 14 foot black olive tree. The girls were so excited that they wanted to help the maintenance guys plant it as well. Here they are planting their tree for the school right in front of Ms. Abraham's parking spot for all to see.

South Trail Fire Department - Kindergarten Coloring Contest

During the month of April South Trail Fire Department distributed coloring pages to Six Mile Charter Academy kindergarten classes for a coloring contest. The coloring pages pertained to the dangers of playing with lighters and candles. There was a winner chosen from each class, and the winners received an 8X10 framed photo of themselves(holding their winning picture)with four firemen standing next to a fire truck. The remaining students received a coupon for a free ice cream cone at McDonald's just for participating in the coloring contest. Christine Knudsen from the fire deptartment came on May 12, 2009 to announce the winners and to distribute the coupons to the students. At this time she also discussed fire safety with the kindergarten classes.

Guided Reading Program

Our Guided Reading program is conducted with a small number of students and focuses on the individual reading needs of each child. During guided reading, teachers guide the entire class through stories with a high level of support and work with students at their individual level in developing their reading skills. The end goal is for students to become confident, proficient readers who LOVE to read!

Art at SMCA is Awesome

Students at SMCA work to create projects that will be shared with parents and students on December 3, 2009 at our second annual art show which has been named "The Green Scene" this year. This event will take place during the day when students show off their talents using regular household items that have become recyled art!

SMCA Basketball Teams

The SMCA boy's and girl's basketball teams worked hard together this year. We are proud of them and congratulate them for practicing and preparing together as they learned team work and strong sport skills. Our coaches and families supported them at each of the games we played against other public middle schools.

Wildcat News hosts a Morning Show each day at 8:30 a.m. over the television system to provide students and teachers with our daily news. Students work together the day before in class to create and edit the entire production. This broadcasting class utilizes high tech software to create very interesting productions that keep everyone "tuned in". Informational commercials that relate to school events and current affairs are shown each day. Special guests from all grade levels join the show each morning to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.
