Letter from the Principal
Wow! What a fantastic week! We have had superheroes and pirates in our building and lots of fun times! The greatest super hero of all times is Christ. He continues to save the day many times over in our lives. We are reminded this week that He is the vine, and we are the branches. If we are rooted in Him through scripture and prayer, we will grow in our relationship with Him and be fruitful. It is up to us to go forth and be helpful to others and show them how to love like Christ loves! Go make a difference in the world!
In Christ,
Mrs. Pierce

The deadline to turn in SPIRIT hours for this school year is Friday, May 11th to have them included on your final report. Final SPIRIT Reports for the year will go out May 16th. (If you have already completed your SPIRIT commitment, you will not receive a report). If you earn SPIRIT hours after May 11th, please submit those hours to the office before you leave the school so that your totals can be adjusted.
Upcoming SPIRIT opportunities- see SignUp Genius for more details:
- Daily- Lunchroom/Playground:

- 4th of July Parade – SMG has a long tradition of participation in the Arlington 4th of July Parade. We are in need of a chairperson for this year’s parade – this can be simply organizing a group of students to march or doing a full-blown float. Applications for Parade entries are due in May so there is still time to plan. Experienced families are available to advise and donated vehicles / trailer are available.

The traffic is now open both ways in front of the Church and School.
It is best to access the property either by Mitchell and turning south or Park Row and turning north. Benge Street is also open. There may be street closures North of Mitchell or South of Park Row. From Mitchell to Abram traffic is North bound only during the day changing to two way after 6pm. This traffic flow will stay this way until June.
