SMS Families, youre doing a great job on our first big fundraiser of the year! We have the maximum number of teams signed up, and currently have 94 hole sponsors.

We are doing much better there, but could still use a few items. Thanks for all your help on this and have a great weekend!

Dear SMS families, Due to unforseen circumstances, we will not be able to have lunch in the Parish Hall this coming week. We will still provide lunch service, but we had to adjust the menu due to eating in classrooms (or outside depending on the weather). Please be sure to check the menu on our website or the app. https://www.stmichaelripley.com/dining Thank you

Good afternoon SMS Families, either today or tomorrow you should receive an envelope which contains emergency medical forms, SMS handbooks, SMS Golf Outing information, and directions for new parents to log on to OptionC. It is important that these forms are signed and turned in at the beginning of the year. Please also be sure to read the handbook with your child(ren) and sign both acknowledgement pages at the end of the handbook. It is also important that everyone has their eforms on optionc filled out in a timely manner. If you need anything from the office please contact me at andy.arn@stmichaelripley.com.

Today is the last day of the 21-22 school year! The awards ceremony will begin in the church at 9am. It will be livestreamed on our public FB page. Parents are welcome but seating will be limited. If you plan to take your child straight from the church, please make sure you let their teacher know. Otherwise we will head back up to the school afterward, around 11. If it is nice outside we will eat in the parking lot, if it is stormy, students will eat in their classrooms. Dismissal is at 1230. We are looking forward to a great final day at SMS!

This is a reminder that our annual Science Day at Eagle Creek is scheduled for tomorrow. We are on for now, but the weather could change that. We will let you know if anything changes. Students in 3-8 may be out of uniform. They may wear clothes that are creek appropriate, but also school appropriate. No short shorts, nothing skin tight, no tank tops or sleeveless shirts. Students should also bring a beach towel and an appropriate change of clothes for when they get back. A change in shoes, and a bag to keep everything in, is also a good idea.

Huge thank you La'Vaya Stevens' parents, Travis and Kelly who will be providing Pasquales Pizza for our students this Friday! Thanks also to Dolores Stuhlreyer and Barb Connor for donating chips and Emily Ernst for providing drinks for our students this Friday! Thanks again to everyone who has donated pizza, chips and drinks for our students during the fish fries!
