Knightly News: EXCEL
Week of February 21st
Last week of the extra appreciation for all who are a part of SGMS during the month of LOVE!
February--Month to show our LOVE of STAFF!
Also this week we will be having an American Heart Association Challenge for students and staff. If you are willing to send in a donation for the American Heart Association in honor or memory of someone that has heart related conditions You can click the link below to give online under SGMS or send in cash with your child to write a heart for the person you designate. When you donate to the American Heart Association, you're joining the fight against our nation's No. 1 and No. 5 killers — heart disease and stroke. Your donation helps fund lifesaving research, advocate for better health, improve patient care and reach at-risk populations.
