7th Grade News, September 15

It's hard to believe that we are halfway through September. I have enjoyed getting to know more and more of this year's 7th grade class. They are an amazing group of individuals. Teachers have told me there is a kindness amongst them from every team. Keep up the good work parents. That has to come from home.

We have some fun events coming up, so read on.

Quick Announcements

• Through the Stay in the Game! program, aimed at promoting student attendance, next will be a spirit week. Please check the graphic below to see each day's theme.
• Ms. Joyce, our school social worker, is in need of school supplies, gently used clothing or household supplies to fill the SMS Caring Closet. See flyer below.
• Check out Clover's Birthday Party section to learn more about her birthday and our school service dog.

Reminder:

Procedure for picking students up early. When picking up your child from school for appointments, not feeling well, or other reasons;

• You will be required to park your car
• Enter the building
• Press the intercom and present your driver's license for identity verification

When that is complete, your student will be called down and sent out to you.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week.

Our Student Council is hosting a special birthday party for Clover, our beloved therapy dog in training, who is turning one at the end of the month! To mark the occasion, from September 17-24, we’ll be collecting donations for One of a Kind Pet Rescue, where Officer Dan adopted Clover. Donation points will be tallied, and students will have the chance to earn a fun pod prize! Let’s come together to celebrate and support a great cause! Happy Bark-day!

Also, her birthday invitation is attached. :)

Each week, we will be featuring one student from each team that exemplifies positive behavior at SMS. We continue to support students focusing on the pillars of our Model Mustang.
