Update!
I apologize, I forgot to put this in the newsletter, but this Friday, February 13, we ask that students pack their lunch due to the Science Fair being held in the Parish Hall. Normally we would get pizza, but we just had pizza Monday, and will soon be having pizza on Fridays of Lent. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Hello SMS Families,
During Lent, traditionally our students get cheese pizza from one of the local pizza places due to the Hall being used for the fish fry. We can make this a normal charge for lunch, no problem, but over the past few years we have had some generous donors who have insisted on purchasing pizza for the entire school. I have already had people asking me about this year. The cost to feed all of the students for a day will be about $350. Again, please do not feel obligated to do this, but if you would like to please send me a private message and let me know the date you would like to do it. Below are the dates:
February 27

I was waiting to post about the SMS Gala until I had all of the pictures and everything in, and I still will. BUT, we have the final numbers on what we were able to raise Saturday night. Together, we raised $35,835! UNBELIEVEABLE! Even better than that, the feedback we have been receiving has been incredible, and I think this will only get bigger, which will be a huge blessing for our school. I can't begin to express my gratitude to everyone who worked so hard to put this together. More to come, but wanted to share that great news!
We are now above the break-even point for the $10K Giveaway! Everything from here on out is profit. If you haven't turned in your tickets yet, you have 11 days before the first $1,000 drawing!
The hill is mostly cleared off now. We should be able to have pickup as normal. Please remember there are no Georgetown or Ripley buses. If you need your child to ride the SMS bus, make sure to let us know. Otherwise, you should be able to line up on the hill like a normal day, and there should even be a little parking on 4th street because there will be no other buses.
Special thanks to Mr. Frebis, Deputy Johnson and the Village of Ripley for keeping the hill clear for us.

Good morning!
The hill is still clear, and it looks like it should taper off into the early afternoon as temps rise. We are going to stay put. There is no sense in trying to get everyone home in the middle of this. We will let the road crews do their thing, and the Village is doing a good job keeping the hill salted. If anyone who was depending on the Georgetown bus this afternoon, just let us know, and your child can ride the SMS bus to the Homeplace. Thank you.

Thanks to Mr. Frebis, Deputy Huff, and the Village of Ripley for helping get the rest of the hill cleared off this morning. We can do dismissal as usual this afternoon. There could still be a few slick spots, so be careful.
Good evening,
Mr Frebis and Mr Jennings worked very hard to clear sidewalks today. We are planning to run on a normal schedule tomorrow. Having said that, there are a few things everyone needs to keep in mind. Market and 4th street still have lots of snow and ice. Please do not park on the hill and walk students in. Drop them off with Mr Hyde at the top of the hill. There is a chance there could be some slick spots on the hill. Please keep an eye out, and give the person in front of you plenty of room. Ripley is closed tomorrow, so there will be no Ripley bus. I have not heard anything from Georgetown as of yet, but if something changes with the Georgetown bus, I will let you know. As long as too much ice does not re form on the hill, we plan to send the SMS bus as normal. Of course, if you feel transportation for you will be a problem, and it is not safe to get here, your child will be excused, just let us know in the office. I will send out a message tomorrow around noon to explain the pickup procedure if we need to change it. We are looking forward to getting back to it. Have a nice evening.
Fish Fry Sign-Up Attached. We ask that all SMS Families Sign up for AT LEAST 2 shifts. Thank you!
