Greetings SMS Families,


As we begin 2025, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a happy, healthy, and successful year ahead. I hope each of you had a peaceful holiday season filled with quality time with loved ones. The start of a new year can bring its own set of challenges, but please know that the entire SMS community is here to support you. If you or your child need assistance, our Student Services team is always available to help.


Reflecting on the first semester, we are incredibly proud of the progress and accomplishments of our students and staff. It's been a time of growth, resilience, and dedication, and we look forward to even more achievements in the months to come. As we near the end of the semester on January 24th, please be sure to check for your child's report card, which will be available shortly before our February break.


A quick reminder: we offer after-school academic support every Tuesday and Thursday to help students excel and reach their full potential. These sessions are a great opportunity for extra assistance, whether your child needs help with specific subjects or just some additional practice.


As we continue through the year, let’s stay focused on supporting each student's success and well-being. Thank you for your continued partnership. Together, we can make 2025 an amazing year for all of our students!


Sincerely,

Dr. Fisher

Field Trip to Burchfield Penney Art Center

Mrs. Jaeger's 8th-grade art classes visited the Burchfield Penney Art Center for a docent-led tour of the gallery. The Art Center displays artwork by artists who have lived in the Western New York area. The art students created a piece of art under the direction of Mrs. Jaeger's former SGI art teacher, Andrea Holden. The artwork connects directly to two very different artists with work on exhibit including Charles E. Burchfield.
