Please dont forget the Harvest Dinner on Sunday. Ideally, desserts should be dropped off Sunday morning before 10am, but if you are having transportation issues, they can be dropped off Friday. Also, spread the word and make sure you come eat with us on Sunday!
We are looking forward to a great week at SMS! Just a few reminders about this week. Monday is spirit day. Students may wear a SMS spiritwear top with uniform pants. Tuesday is All Saints Day. School Mass will begin at 815am. Students may dress up like their favorite Saint! (https://www.stmichaelripley.com/article/884361 ) . The 3rd grade will be testing on Wednesday and Thursday morning. Our school Halloween Party is Friday, and the Harvest Dinner is Sunday. For more details, click "news" on the website. See you in the morning!
Good Afternoon SMS Families,
We have two announcements today. First, in the interest of safety for our children at play in the parking lot, we will be closing the main school parking lot daily when children are playing or walking in the parking lot. There will be a chain blocking the entrance. If you come to the school between 10:30 and 2:40, and the chain is up, you will need to park on the hill and walk to the office door.
Second, we would like to remind you that students may dress up for class Halloween parties on Wednesday, October 26. Please make sure costumes are Catholic school appropriate and will not prevent students from participating in normal school day activities.
Have a great weekend!

Good morning SMS families! This is another reminder that we will dismiss at 12:30 today due to parent-teacher conferences this evening.
For all of our parents coming for conferences, please be sure to be here at your scheduled time. In order to allow all conferences to stay on schedule, and parents to be able to meet with all requested teachers, our bells will ring every ten minutes to keep on track. Thank you, we look forward to seeing you tonight!
Reminder: Early (1230) dismissal tomorrow due to parent teacher conferences. The Georgetown bus will run as usual. There will be no afternoon Ripley bus.
Please check backpacks tonight. The youngest child in each family will be bringing home a slip of paper confirming times for parent teacher conferences. They will also have signup sheets for the Harvest Dinner. Thank you!
Happy Friday!

Here are the details for our families in regards to the parade on Monday:
Meet at Georgetown High School between 430 and 530 on Monday.
We are entry #61 (Between Color Street Nifty Nails and Fierce Cleaning)
Students and parents are encouraged to ride or walk next to the float
Everyone should wear SMS spirit wear!
We will only be able to stop briefly after we go through the ring, so if you are taking your child from the float at the fair, you will need to be there when the float leaves the ring.
If any student is left on the float after the parade we will go to St George to meet parents.
If you have any questions email me at andy.arn@stmichaelripley.com.
Good luck to everyone showing projects at the Brown County Fair next week, especially our own SMS students!
