Monday Morning Memo

1)The HSA extends our appreciation to the entire SMA Community for coming together for an amazing Christmas Craft Fair over the weekend. Every volunteer, donation and participant contributed to its great success. We wish everyone a happy Holiday season.

2)As we pause to reflect on this joyous season of celebrating the birth of Our Lord and Savior, we are also taking a pause during the month of December. The HSA meeting previously scheduled for December 13, 2023 is cancelled and we reconvene as regularly scheduled on January 10, 2024 at 7 pm.

The Food Bank will be distributing presents to families in need. We are looking for school families to sponsor a child and purchase a gift or two so they have something under their tree this year.

Please sign up using the link below and drop off a new, wrapped gift to the school by Wednesday December 6th. Please make sure they are labeled with the child's family number, sex, and age. Thank you for helping our families have a wonderful Christmas!

Our annual Christmas Music Program will take place on Friday, December 15th at 6:30 PM. All classes will participate. Please feel free to invite family and friends to enjoy this wonderful event.

Doors will open at 5:45. Students must arrive by 6:15 p.m. wearing their holiday best.

We have a 12:30 PM dismissal on Wednesday, December 20th. There will be NO Aftercare that day. Please have a plan in place for your student to be picked up in the regular carline at 12:30 PM.

Applications close on February 16, 2024. The application cost is $42.
