Inside this issue:

Wow! February was an incredibly busy month for our Cardinals. As you can see from the newsletter there were many activities going on in February. Congratulations once again to our undefeated Space Center cross country teams. All 4 teams remained undefeated and swept the district meet. That is a great accomplishment. Both boys and girls basketball teams also finished successful seasons. Tennis, golf and track will soon be underway. Congratulations also to Ms. Richards and the production class. They won several awards at their recent competition. Congratulations also to our Quiz bowl team for placing 3rd at district as well. I f you are up at school, please check out the display case in the commons for the amazing art work that competed in the Houston Livestock and Rodeo competition. Cardinal students did very well. Many of our students also competed at the district science fair and the orchestra students competed at solo and ensemble contest. The students did very well at both events. The 8th grade dance took place on February 20th. It was my pleasure to help

with the dance and see what a great turn out we had. Over 240 students came and enjoyed “The Masquerade.” A huge thank you to dance chair Marla Schmidt and the rest of the volunteers who spent countless hours planning and preparing for the dance. Thank you also to Mrs. Vitek and the many NJHS students who helped make it all possible. Thank you to Rikie Bowker, PTA fundraising chair for organizing the successful “Crush” sale. Many students enjoyed receiving a “Crush” for Valentine’s Day. Thank you also to the many volunteers who helped with the sales or delivery. If you are not currently a member of PTA, please consider joining. The spring membership campaign is underway and you can now join online at www.scipta.org. We are currently updating our website and adding a virtual school store that will allow parents to shop and pay by credit card! Thank you to our webmaster Michelle Krueger and PTA treasurer Carole Stecker for setting this up.

Masquerade Dance WOW! The Masquerade has come and gone. I hope the 8th graders

enjoyed the dance as much as I did. We were able to borrow some of the most beautiful masks that I have ever seen. They helped transform the Commons from a school cafeteria to a magical dance setting. There were so many who had a part in making the dance a success, I do not know who to thank first. The NJHS students helped from the start to the finish. As parents, we have so much to be proud of and thankful for in our children. Darlene Selmarten, Angela Schroeder, and Kim Scofield took the "common" out of the Commons. Merita Parker , Kim Holt, Lisa Roberts, and Betty Squires made the food tables look as good as the food tasted. And yes, we had more than just corndogs and water! April McCluskey gets a big hug for stickering both mail-outs. Sherrie Jones, Marilyn Sobotik, Suzie Wilson, Doyle Richter, and Karen Zimpfer sat through all those lunches selling tickets. And last, but not least, Luis and Sandra Orosco took pictures from the time the doors opened until the dance was over. Luis took over 200 pictures! And a great big thank you to Mrs. Vitek, Ms. Thomas, Mrs. Johnson, Mr. Rogers and all of the Space Center teachers who helped chaperone the dance. It was truly my pleasure to work with all these wonderful teachers, par-ents and their children. Marla Schmidt

National Junior Honor Society National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) students were busy serving the community during the month of February. Members volunteered at school fairs at both Falcon Pass and Armand Bayou Elementary Schools. We also assisted in Fun Runs at Brookwood, Clear Lake City and Northpoint Elementary Schools. Our biggest project was the 8th grade dance. We enjoyed being the first SCIS class to help organize and plan the dance. The “Masquerade” Dance was a lot of fun, as well as a big success. NJHS students helped select the music, plan the menu, make posters, and help to set up and clean up for the dance. We also donated $250 towards the cost of renting the dance floor. The next meeting for current members will be on Friday, March 12th in the Library at 8:15. All seventh graders wishing to be a part of the NJHS should submit their completed ap-plications to Mrs. Vitek by March 3rd. Elizabeth Selmarten NJHS Correspondent

We are so proud of all our students who participated in the solo and ensemble contest on February 20th. The students performed an assigned piece of music before a panel of judges. If the students were nervous, they sure did not show it. Once again, our solo and ensemble contestants shined! Congratulations and way to go virtuosos! February 6th found the Chamber orchestra fiddlin’ up a little Cotton-Eyed Joe at the Falcon Pass Elementary School carnival. It was great to get the chance to show off our talents for the younger set. On February 27th, we showed off our solos and ensembles in performances at Barnes & Noble, who thanked the students by donating a portion of their proceeds to our orchestra program. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the kids. The next few months will be crazy for our Space Center Orchestras. On March 5th, we will be having some fun with an event we call March Madness. We’ll head to Incredible Pizza for dinner and then return to Space Center to play games until Midnight. No instruments on this night – just Rock n Roll and FUN! The advanced students are preparing for the UIL competition coming up. Philharmonic and Chamber will compete on March 31st and Symphony and Chamber will be compete on April 9th. We know these students will make Space Center proud! On March 8th, these students will showcase the music they are preparing with a concert at University Baptist Church. The SCIS Fiddle Club has started - every Thursday morning at 8:15. We are learning Irish and Texas Swing Band Music. Rock The House is meeting every other Friday. Students are learning to play by ear all the songs they love on their iPods using Electric Strings! Please check out the orchestra website for additional information and per-formance schedules at www.scisorchestra.com.
