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!

Good Morning SMS Families,
Unfortunately, we remain without power here at SMS, with no real timetable of restoration. We are going to go ahead and postpone our Open House that was scheduled for this afternoon.
Due to the uncertainty of having power, and wanting to begin the year for our families under less stressful circumstances, we are going to go ahead and delay the beginning of the school year until this Monday, August 17, at the normal starting time.
We will have Open House on Sunday afternoon (8/16) between 1:00 and 3:00 pm to allow families to drop off supplies, see their homerooms, and ask any questions that they might have.
Stay safe everyone!

Good evening SMS Families,
Due to severe weather, a power outage, and expected downpours between 6 and 8 this evening we are postponing Open House. Families will be able to drop off supplies and visit classrooms tomorrow between 12 and 4 pm. If you are unable to make those times, feel free to contact me at the school between now and then and I will stick around tomorrow evening for you to drop off things, or you can just bring them with you on the first day of school Thursday.

Good morning SMS Families! We are excited to announce that we are partnering with Viva Spanish! for the 2026-27 school year to provide foreign language instruction for our students in grades 3-8. The class will be two days a week, and serve as one of our "specials" for our students. This is not an online class, there will be a licensed instructor in class every Monday and Wednesday, and this program is used by several schools within the Archdiocese.

Congratulations graduates!
