Don't forget the annual SMS Harvest Dinner! We will also be holding our cake auction! Some items will be in a silent auction at the Harvest Dinner, and some items will be available to be bid on our Facebook page on Sunday, November 15!
Reminder: Tomorrow is a dress down for a purpose day!
Students may wear pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Donations will be collected and will benefit someone battling cancer in our community! If students cannot wear pink, it is completely OK, but should be in uniform. Remember, tomorrow at mass all students will be encouraged to name pray for those who are or who have been affected. This will happen during our normal time for prayer requests. Thank you for your support!
Next Wednesday, October 21, we will be coming together as a school for breast cancer awareness. Students will be invited to wear PINK to show our support for all the fighters in our lives. Donations will be collected and given to a local woman currently battling breast cancer.
As we know this is something near the hearts of many of our families, students will also have the opportunity to offer special intentions during morning prayer. We do ask for any of the younger grades, you send in a paper before Wednesday with the name of who you’d like them to recognize.
Thank you for helping our school support someone in our community in her courageous battle!
This is a reminder that there is no SMS or Ripley bus Friday afternoon. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
The eighth grade helped sort and pass out food today at mobile food pantry at St George!
Good Evening SMS Families.
As I mentioned yesterday, there will be a funeral at St Michael tomorrow for one of our parishioners, so the Hall will be unavailable. We will be having pizza for lunch, and we have had an extremely generous, anonymous donor purchase pizza for all of our students, so nothing will be charged to anyone's account. Thank you anonymous donor!
Also, there will likely still be a large number of people still in the parish hall at dismissal, so we will dismiss a little differently tomorrow. All parents picking up students after school should park in the Methodist Church Parking lot at the corner of Market and 2nd St. I will bus the car riders down to that parking lot and drop off car riders to their parents. Please be looking out for your child in that parking lot. Mrs Ashton and Ms. Ernst will make sure the students make it to their parents.
After that, I will circle back up to the school to take the SMS bus riders as usual.
Hopefully this will help with the congestion around the school tomorrow.
Have a nice evening.

Good morning SMS Families. I wanted to let you know, that due to a funeral within the parish, the menu on Wednesday has been changed from Ham Sliders to Cheese and Pepperoni Pizza. Instead of serving in the Hall, we will serve lunch in homerooms. Students who order lunch that day will have their accounts charged as normal. Thank you
Good luck to our students!
SMS Families,
The SMS bus was caught in traffic this morning on 52, due to an overturned truck. We took a detour along with the Ripley bus, and made it to school around 815. We have now begun the school day. Have a nice day.
Congratulations to SMS students, Emmy Craig, Scarlett Fetters, and Jonah Poole who will be recognized by the Ripley Police Department as this month's "Ripley Red Star Students"! These students have demonstrated respect, responsibility, kindness, a positive attitude and being helpful to teachers and their classmates. They will receive a "Red Star" certificate, be recognized on Ripley PD's Facebook page and be entered into an end of year prize drawing for a summer gift basket. Great job students, and thank you Ripley Police Department!

We are finalizing the arrangements for next weekend's golf outing. If you have not yet contributed and were thinking about what to donate, we could use $25 gift cards and Buckeyes or Bengals accessories to go in a couple baskets we are putting together. Of course if you already had something else in mind, we can take other things as well! I just had a few people tell me they could use some ideas, so, hope this helps! If you plan to contribute, please send me an email letting me know what you are planning to send.
I will give you an up-to-date list of teams and sponsors tomorrow. Thanks everyone!
