On Friday, February 7th SMS was well-represented at Night to Shine, which was a fun, uplifting evening for everyone involved. Volunteer faculty, staff, and interns are pictured. There were also several current and former SMS student volunteers who served in a variety of capacities.

Thank you, Ms. Ford and the rest of the coordinators (Mrs. Beswick, Mrs. Burns, and Ms. Craig), for all of your effort to plan and prepare for the event.
