South Central Community School Corporation has joined several other LaPorte County schools in receiving the honor of being designated as a Heart Safe School! The Heart Safe designation signifies that the school is dedicated to the safety and well-being of everyone on the South Central campus and will continue to maintain and improve those safety efforts. Heart Safe is organized by Project ADAM, which is a nationwide program that helps communities prepare for an effective response to cardiac events.

A special thank you to the SC staff who have accepted the responsibilities of being on the response team, the Health Foundation of LaPorte for the AED donations and their continued partnership, LaPorte County EMS and the local first responders for helping with drills and always keeping our community safe, and Tonya Aerts and Project ADAM for setting the standards for cardiac safety and for helping the school reach this goal.

The annual South Central Health & Wellness Night will take place on Tuesday, June 17, 2025 starting at 5:00pm. Various services will be available for students including physicals, preventative heart screenings, dental care, and immunizations. There is no cost for the physicals, however, donations to the athletic department will be accepted. See the flyers below for more information.

South Central Elementary School, through its penny war fundraiser, raised $26,000 for Riley Hospital for Children!

The penny war fundraiser was sponsored by Junior Council members and was held from March 3rd to the 26th. South Central Elementary (and the Corporation) will now be designated as a "Red Wagon School/Corporation" for their fundraising efforts! Additionally, a Red Riley Wagon with a customized South Central license plate will be used at Riley Hospital as transportation for many patients.

As a reward, a school assembly was held with students dumping slim onto staff members. Sixth grade, the winning grade level with the most donations, earned a trip to the movie theater, and 1st/4th grade received a pizza party. All grades will celebrate by having a pajama day with movies and snacks. Thank you to Ms. Fornaciari, Mrs. Perez, and our entire Junior Council!
