Christmas Week at SMS!
We have just completed our stock market simulator for the Math Enrichment Group 7-8 grade and Griffin Ernst ended up on top our class finishing 14th overall out of all of the middle school students in the program. All of our students did well. In fact, they all finished in the top 60 of 120 + middle school stock market programs in south-western ohio (including schools like Mason High School and Sycamore who are DI schools). It is a great life lesson on how to invest your money and save for retirement.

There will be no chess club next week due to our shortened week for Thanksgiving. We will start back the following Monday.
Good afternoon! We had a great time visiting with our grandparents this morning! Tomorrow we will have mass beginning at 8:15. We will have staff in the church helping grandparents to their assigned pews. Students will first report to homeroom and then come to the church to be seated with their grandparents at 8:05.
Due to the use of the Hall for Grandparent's Day, lunch will be served in classrooms tomorrow.
I've had some parents asking for help with ACE on their end. This is what I received from them this afternoon.
During the month of November, the Catholic Church devoutly prays for the faithful departed. We honored this devotion at SMS by visiting the Old Ripley Cemetery today, with first-eighth graders. We were blessed with beautiful weather and great conversation. Some discussions were centered around the Revolutionary War because three veterans are buried in the historical graveyard. It was great to spend our morning with our beloved veterans of the community and continue this lesson throughout the school day. Ask your students about their day, it was packed with adventures in learning!
