Bus Update: We apologize, but there will be no SMS bus service tomorrow. There is also no Ripley bus tomorrow becuase they are out of school. There will be Georgetown bus service as normal.

Good afternoon SMS Families,

This message is for anyone who has a child who rides the SMS bus. We have a mechanical issue with the bus that has come up and must be repaired. Unfortunately, there will be no SMS bus service this afternoon, and there is a possibility there will be no service tomorrow. I will let you know as soon as I know for certain about tomorrow. I apologize for the inconvenience, and if anyone is stuck, without a ride, let us know, and I will be happy to help. Thank you

Good luck to Grace Puckett who is competing in the Brown County Spelling Bee tonight!

If anyone feels that their specific situation is unsafe due to road conditions, absences will be excused. See you in a little bit.

Good morning, SMS is now closed due to icy roads and sidewalks. Have a good day

Good morning, I apologize for the late notice, but SMS will be on a 2 hour delay today. All buses will run exactly 2 hours later than they normally would. This is due to slick road conditions.

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
March 6
March 13
