8th grade Fundraiser
The 8th graders at SMS will have the opportunity to spend a day at Cedar Point at the end of May. This trip offers a fantastic opportunity for students to bond, create lasting memories, and celebrate the culmination of their middle school journey. To help offset some of the costs associated with the trip we have teamed up with Crumbl Cookies in Strongsville for a sweet "March Madness" fundraiser. Every Wednesday in March Crumbl will donate 15% of orders when this flyer is shown or Strongsville Middle School is mentioned when you pick up your order. Enjoy a treat and help out the SMS 8th graders!
