Winter weather is here! Please make sure students of all grade levels have a complete change of clothes in their backpacks ( shirt, pants, socks and underwear). This will help avoid a mid-day phone call home for students who get wet or muddy during recess. Thank you in advance.

We’re excited to invite you to the Strongsville Elementary Fifth Grade Bands’ Holiday Band Concert! Please join us on Thursday, December 4, 2025, at 6:00 PM in the Strongsville Middle School Auditorium for an evening of festive music. The program will also feature a performance by the SMS Jazz Band. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate our students’ hard work and enjoy holiday music together. We hope to see you there cheering on our fifth graders!

Please consider donating your gently used clothing items that no longer fit your children to the Kinsner Caring Closet! Clothing items that students can use when they slip and fall at recess or have juice spills and accidents are greatly appreciated. We are mostly in need of pants and leggings. New underwear and socks are in need as well since we can not reuse those items. Open the link to see more!
