SMS Scoop

SMS Student Council members are coordinating a canned food drive from November 12 - 22. Students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to donate any non-perishable food item during these days. All collected items will be delivered to the Scott County Clearinghouse so our local families can benefit.

Each year SMS launches the Gratitude Gazette during the month of November. It is an opportunity for students, faculty, and staff to express their gratitude for people that we spotlight each day.

If you would like to share your gratitude for SMS folks, here are the groups that we're highlighting this week:

Monday, November 18th - media center

Tuesday, November 19th - tech department

Wednesday, November 20th - nurse

Thursday, November 21st - guidance

Friday, November 22nd - cafeteria

Recipients will receive their messages at the end of each day. The Gratitude Gazette has been a positive experience for the past three years, so all SMS students, faculty, and staff are encouraged to participate.
