SMMS Weekly Update

We are excited to welcome everyone who registered for our Veterans Day event: Snacks & Salutes.

Our event will be held on November 10 from 8:00 to 9:00 in the school library.

Because we have purchased food for the event, we are unable to welcome walk-ins on November 10. Only registered guests should report to the school.

We look forward to celebrating the courage and dedication of our veterans with you. Thank you for your support in making this event a success.

Congratulations to our Read-A-Thon Readers! Honorable Mention goes to Mrs. Cavagnaro's homeroom for logging the most cumulative minutes. Did you know there is still time to donate, even though the RAT has closed?! Donations won't close until November 13th. Contact Mrs. Yeargan if you have any questions!!!

If your 8th grade student missed the field trip to James Rumsey, please check out this opportunity.

• Students who earn six tardies in any one class will receive an after school detention.

SMMS offers several opportunities for students to engage in competitive athletics at the middle school level. All students need to have a WVSSAC Physical form on file at the school before you can start. All students must have a 2.0 GPA from last semester.
