Happy Sunday SMS Families! We had a great first week back, ending with our annual pet blessing. Here is what you need to know going into this week:
Tomorrow, we will have two Sisters visit from the Children of Mary. They will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, and spend time talking to, and praying with our students.
Fall picture retakes (in uniform) are set for Wednesday morning. Students will only be photographed if they were absent on the original picture day, or if parents request a retake.
Also on Wednesday, our preschool through second grade will have their annual visit to "R Farm". Hopefully, all permission slips and fees have been collected. If you are not sure, please contact your child's teacher. Due to bus space, all parents who plan to go should plan to drive, and pay the $5 fee when you get there,
Our Fall Parent Teacher Conferences are Thursday afternoon/evening. PLEASE SIGN UP NO LATER THAN WEDNESDAY AT NOON. Click here to sign up
Due to conferences, we will dismiss at 12:30 that day, The Georgetown and SMS buses will be running, the Ripley bus will not run in the afternoon.
Due to conferences and professional development, SMS will be closed on Friday October 11 and Monday, October 14.
As you can imagine, those affected by the Hurricane last week have been weighing heavy on the hearts of many of our students. Some have asked, is there anything we can do in addition to praying for them. We believe we have come up with a way to help. We are still working out a few details, but later this week, you will be hearing about a plan for our students to have the opportunity to help both our own communities and the communities devastated by the Hurricane.
Looking ahead...
