*We are so proud to see many of you being respectful to your teachers and your peers and taking your school work seriously. It makes SMS a great place to be when everyone treats each other well! Teachers will be awarding raffle tickets to students seen making great choices in classrooms, hallways and more.

Here's how it works: When you get a ticket, drop it into your grade level's bucket on the stage during lunch. Every Friday, we'll pull winners from each grade level, and you'll get to visit the main office to pick out a prize!

Awesome Prizes Include:

A pass to visit a favorite teacher during Spartan Time A week of skipping to the front of the lunch line A special pass to wear a hat on a non-hat day!

Free admission to school events

Cool Spartan gear

Gift cards

Keep up the fantastic work, SMS! Let’s make our school an even better place together!

*Today is a 5th Grade Chorus day. All students in 5th Grade Chorus should report to the upstairs music room following announcements.

* Did you know that we have been in school long enough that if you checked out a book the first week of school and haven't returned it, it is now overdue?  Stay on top of returning books on time.  If you still need it, come see Mrs. Williams to renew it.  Emails go out every Friday morning if a book is overdue.  You can also check the status of your books by logging into Destiny with your g-mail.

*RE-take picture day will be Oct. 9th at 8am.
