SMS HONORS our Veterans
November 2022
SMS attended a Veterans Day Program on November 11, 2022, to honor and remember our veterans. Thank you to all our veterans for your service to our country!
SMS Christmas Program
December 2022
SMS had such good intentions on performing their Christmas Program for families and friends, but the weather had other ideas. After rescheduling the program twice and still having to cancel, the school decided to move back to learning at school instead of continuing to plan for the program in mid-January. Please click on the link to see some great pics and videos of the kids practicing and enjoying the Christmas season!
Our Little Saints Preschool was able to perform their faith-filled (and adorable) program at SMS on the one day we didn't have a school cancelation ;) They also had birthday doughnuts and juice to celebrate Jesus' birthday; how fun is that?!?

January 2022
The 2nd grade class celebrated the Sacrament of First Reconciliation in January. This is a very special day for these students as they prepare for First Communion.
