There is still time to support SMMS with our Fall Fundraiser. All of the funds raised will benefit each and every student at Spring Mills Middle School and we need your support to reach our goal. We are raising funds this year for our school activities, class field trips, and student initiatives.

Here are the quick steps to support our school:

1. Register your student online at shop.gwrcfundraising.com

2. Enter our school’s campaign ID: 19299

3. Add at least 10 contacts to share the fundraiser online to family & friends (20 contacts is the goal)

4. Shop & Support our school’s online store and our fundraising catalogs.

✔️ If your student sells 3 or more items, we will reach our school’s fundraising goal!

✔️ If your student sells only 7 items, they will our MEGA PARTY event during school!

✔️ If your student sells 20 items, they will attend the MEGA PARTY event and go to SKY ZONE for the ultimate PIZZA PARTY during school!

We've sold about $3800 so far; we earn 40% of the total sales. All sales are due October 17.

Box Tops for Education

Dear SMMS families,

As part of our ongoing fundraising efforts, we want to remind you that you can help us earn funds through Box Tops for Education by simply submitting your grocery receipts.

Here are two easy ways to participate:

Drop Off Your Receipts: Bring your receipts to the office and place them in the designated Box Tops Collection Box. Our Box Tops Coordinator will scan them for you—no need to do a thing!
Scan Your Own Receipts: If you prefer, you can scan your receipts using the Box Tops app. It's quick and easy! Just download the app, scan your receipt, and submit.

Every Box Top adds up, and your participation helps us get closer to our goal. Please take a moment to either drop off your receipts or submit them through the app. We appreciate your support!

Thank you for helping make a difference!

Afternoon Pick-up Patterns

As we enter the colder months, we might have more bus cancellations. Please review the traffic patterns below just in case your student's bus is cancelled.

Last year, we worked with Dean Olack, the county security officer, to design a traffic pattern for the afternoon that would create the safest situation for students. Please use the directions and image below to review our procedures.

No parking along Campus Drive.
Line up, single-file, in the primary school bus loop.
No one may park in the primary loop and pick up their student. We have permission to use the lane as a staging area, not for parent pick-up.
Once the buses leave, the cars in the primary bus loop will enter the bus loop at SMMS with the assistance of a staff member directing traffic on Campus Drive.
No left turns from Campus Drive until all the cars from the primary loop have filtered into the middle school front loop.
