We will also be offering paper copies of these packets, along with food, for pickup tomorrow, Tuesday, February 3, 2026, here at Scottsburg. This option is available for families who prefer or need printed materials.

On January 23, 2026, students proudly marched through the halls displaying their floats as classmates and staff cheered them on.
