Can it be the end of January already? Cold, snow, fog, and a few glimpses of sunshine have filled the January weeks, but inside the school, it is always warm and encouraging thanks to all the SC staff members. This week we add five individuals to the staff spotlight and thank them for being such an integral part of Sioux Central.

Music Senior Spotlight: Keyla Molina
Keyla has been involved in the SC music department since 7th grade. She was involved in Legally Blonde the musical and Disney's The Little Mermaid, and has participated the last 3 years in Solo/Ensemble Contest with multiple vocal groups. Keyla enjoys being in the music department because it gives her the opportunity to be with her friends and try something creative. Her favorite song to sing in choir was "Once Upon a December", and her favorite band piece was "The Polar Express". Her favorite memory from the music department is "goofing around during practice with Ella while Mr. Perry is trying to teach. I love being in band - it's one of the things I most enjoy about school." Thank you, Keyla!
