Life Is A Movie. Film Drug Free!
Red Ribbon Week starts on Monday, October 28th. The theme for the week is Life is a Movie. Film Drug Free! Our dress-up days are as follows:
Monday - Take the Pledge. Students will be given a drug free pledge to sign and return for free admission to the SMS fall dance on November 8th.
Tuesday - Opposite Day. Students are encouraged to dress like their favorite teacher, and teachers can dress like their students.
Wednesday - Anything but a Backpack Day. Get creative and bring your belongings to school this day in something other than a backpack (just make sure it can be stored in your locker).
Thursday - Costume Day. Wear a school appropriate costume for the day. You cannot wear a mask or face paint that covers your face. You must be able to sit comfortably at your desk and move safely throughout the building.
Friday - Pajama Day. Let's wrap up Red Ribbon Week in comfort!

Career Activities
On Friday, October 25th our eighth grade students participated in a variety of career activities. We were fortunate to have a wide variety of volunteers to answer questions and provide information about their career field.
Thank you to our guidance department as well as the Explorer and Voyager teachers for their effort to bring this opportunity to our kids.
Election/Voting Presentation
Indiana schools that serve students in grades 6-12 have a new requirement to provide instruction “concerning the system of government in Indiana and the United States; methods of voting; party structures; election laws; and the responsibilities of citizen participation in government and elections.”
As part of the requirement, we recently invited a presenter to share general information about how the voting and election process works for local, state, and national elections for each grade level.
