The Lady Raiders Basketball team defeated Calvary to earn this spot in the State Final Four playoffs, and they had previously defeated the No. 2 ranked team in the state (SCPS stuns Randolph-Clay).

Friday was an exciting day for the Red Raider Marching Band members who had a special visitor in class. Mr. Randall Coleman took time out of his day to spend a couple hours with the SCPS band. As the Associate Director of Bands and Assistant Professor of Music at the University of Alabama, Mr. Coleman serves as the conductor of the Alabama Symphonic Band, the Associate Conductor of the Alabama Wind Ensemble and the Associate Director of the "Million Dollar Band." He also teaches graduate and undergraduate conducting and wind band literature classes. Coleman joined the  University of Alabama faculty after a successful 25 year career as a high school band director and supervisor in metropolitan Atlanta, GA, where he formerly taught with the current Raider Band Director, Lindy Sikes.

Barnabas Characteristic for February: LOVE

Jesus gives us the command to love one another just as He has loved us. John 13:35 says, "By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." If we truly love God, we will love His people. This kind of love is an action, not an emotion. This kind of love will help us to forgive, to show mercy, to serve, to befriend, to love the unlovable and to live unselfishly. Believing in God's amazing love, and realizing what He did for us by sending His only Son to die on the cross for a people that didn't love Him, will cause us to express this kind of love to our neighbors. We have wonderful students here at SCPS that are showing us they are disciples of Jesus. We see their love. These are the Barnabas winners for the month of February . . .
