7th and 8th Grade Math Jump are enjoying the schools VR headsets and learning about history, art and science as we go!
Good afternoon. This message is in regards to school for tomorrow, Wednesday, March 27. We have been in close contact with the water company this week, and have been informed that the water shutdown in Ripley will not occur before Thursday. Therefore, we will have school tomorrow on a normal schedule with Georgetown and SMS bus service, but no RULH bus service. Easter Break will begin Thursday, March 28 and we will resume school on Monday April 8. Thank you for your patience.
Good luck to SMS students Grace Puckett and Miah Santoro, who will be representing us tonight at the Brown County Spelling Bee! We are rooting for you!
Our students had the honor of visiting the Brown County Courthouse today. Judge Gusweiler was extremely generous with his time, answering lots of questions from our students and talking about topics ranging from the 3 branches of government and how elections work, to internet safety and personal accountability. Our students did a fantastic job asking meaningful questions and participating in great discussions.
Special thanks to Judge Gusweiler and his staff (especially Beau's mom and Ellie and Barrett's mom), who were very welcoming and made it such a great experience for our students. Thanks also for feeding our students pizza, which they thoroughly enjoyed!

Good morning!
Just a heads up - 5th and 6th Grade are taking a test on the Rocky Mountain States and the U.S. Constitution today. Tomorrow we are planning to have our "states party" (Friday) - We all appreciate the effort parents and students put in to make these celebrations a success.
4th Grade spent their Math periods on Monday measuring ingredients for pizza dough. Then they got to make personal pizzas and enjoyed them for lunch. It was truly a delicious lesson! 🍕❤️
Morning prayer in the school ❤️
Good morning. We will have morning prayer in the school today. Please drop all sudents off at the school, not the church. Thank you!

We could still use some help especially for the evening shift this Friday. If we can pencil you in, please let us know!
Also, as far as students helping at the fish fry. Most of the time students do a fantastic job helping out and students in grades 5-8 are welcome to volunteer. If they do volunteer they will be asked to do jobs like wash dishes, help with the drive thru, and wipe down tables. Although some children in grades K-4 can help out a little, they should be under parent supervision. It gets really busy, and sometimes its hard to keep things under control if there are too many little guys running around. Not only that, there are knives, hot oil, etc. Thanks for your help with this!
