Our GRADE 8 students fully embraced the Halloween spirit at Friday night’s Spooktacular dance, showing off an incredible variety of costumes! We saw everything from monkeys and witches to Toy Story characters, colorful crayons, and even some roaming dinosaurs!

Every week representatives from colleges and universities across the nation come to SMHS to meet with students to provide information about their programs and answer questions. If your student is interested in meeting with a visiting college representative they can sign up online through their Naviance account.

Questions should be directed to Kathy Lucas (klucas@sandwich.k12.ma.us) or Melissa Murphy (mmurphy@sandwich.k12.ma.us) in the guidance office.

SMHS student volunteers from various extracurricular clubs, honor societies, classes and teams showed up in great spirits to volunteer their time and talents at this weekend's legendary Halloween Festival at Heritage Museum & Gardens.

Seeing our students give back to the town we call home is inspiring and reflects SMHS values of citizenship, volunteerism and community.

GO KNIGHTS!

Wednesday, October 23 marked the opening celebration of the Student Art Gallery at the Old Town Hall, home of the Sandwich Arts Alliance. During the event, parents, grandparents and community members enjoyed viewing artwork from students in all three schools across all grades. All work was curated, mounted, and framed by SMHS art students.

The gallery is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 11:00 AM- 4:00 PM.

GRADE 8 students had the unique opportunity to experience physics in action at the Heritage Adventure Park's Ropes Course. As they climbed and swung using ropes, ziplines, ladders, bridges and other crossings, they felt Newton's forces of balance, gravitational pull, speed and velocity... making it a memorable experience that truly represents learning in action!

Thank you to grade 8 science teachers Ms. FERREIRA and Mr. McCRACKEN for organizing such an exciting field trip, and special thanks to the CANAL GENERATING PLANT for sponsoring the trip.

The Cape and Islands District Attorney’s Office collaborates with local schools throughout Cape Cod and the Islands by providing in-person internet safety programming for youth. The goal of the

Cyber-safety Presentation is to inform and empower young people to stay safe while using technology.

The program consists of a one hour presentation by members of the District Attorney’s Community Outreach Program along with the Assistant District Attorney. Included in the discussion will be the impact that posts and social media use can have on students' future as well as the dangers of sending inappropriate photos or messages, also known as “sexting." By sharing the risks associated with social media, gaming and use of digital devices, the aim is to encourage students to make safe decisions to reduce harm and prevent exploitation and cyberbullying.

If you would prefer that your student NOT ATTEND the Cyber-Safety presentation on November 5, please call (508) 888-4900 or email jnelson@sandwich.k12.ma.us by November 4, 2024.

SMHS CLASS RINGS are available for purchase!

Orders placed by November 1 will be delivered before the holiday break.

If you have any questions please contact Herff Jones or Mike McCann at MaMcCann@herffjones.com
