Mustang Mentors Teach 6th Graders Raising the BAR
This week, our students, and peer leaders, took time to train and learn lessons to support Raising the BAR. They taught 6th graders what it means to Belong, Accept and Respect. What does this look like? How does it feel? How can we create this culture at SMS and why is this important? They did a great job leading their peers, being great examples and supporting a positive culture at SMS. Nice job, Mustang Mentors!
Book Fair Success
The Book Fair was quite successful this week. Big thanks to our PTA for organizing and running it for our students!
Good Luck 8th Grade Band
