Here are the details for our families in regards to the parade on Monday:
Meet at Georgetown High School between 430 and 530 on Monday.
We are entry #61 (Between Color Street Nifty Nails and Fierce Cleaning)
Students and parents are encouraged to ride or walk next to the float
Everyone should wear SMS spirit wear!
We will only be able to stop briefly after we go through the ring, so if you are taking your child from the float at the fair, you will need to be there when the float leaves the ring.
If any student is left on the float after the parade we will go to St George to meet parents.
If you have any questions email me at andy.arn@stmichaelripley.com.
Good luck to everyone showing projects at the Brown County Fair next week, especially our own SMS students!
Exciting news for SMS! Thank you IP!

SMS Families, youre doing a great job on our first big fundraiser of the year! We have the maximum number of teams signed up, and currently have 94 hole sponsors. The deadline for sponsors is 2:00 today, so we can get signs printed for next week. Our goal was 100, so we are very close! Prizes can be donated through Wednesday of next week. We are doing much better there, but could still use a few items. Thanks for all your help on this and have a great weekend!
UPDATE: We are 11 days away from the SMS Golf Outing! Please keep working to help get our sponsors, teams and prizes for this event. These are our sponsors so far. We need 40 more to reach our goal! Also, any new sponsors need to be in by THIS FRIDAY so we can have signs printed. If you think you turned in a sponsor and it's not on here, please let me know.

Dear SMS families,
Due to unforseen circumstances, we will not be able to have lunch in the Parish Hall this coming week. We will still provide lunch service, but we had to adjust the menu due to eating in classrooms (or outside depending on the weather). Please be sure to check the menu on our website or the app.
