Coins for Christmas
SVMS Interact Club will be collecting coins for our "ANTI GRINCH CAMPAIGN". We had so much fun with this friendly grade level competition last year, it made “cents” to have a rematch. There will be a can for each grade level located in the office December 2-6.
December 2 we will be collecting nickels.
December 3 we will collect dimes.
December 4 we will collect quarters.
Each day the coins will be counted and the students can see how 'giving' each grade level is during the holidays. BEWARE...
December 5 we will collect the Grinch stuff (green bills). The students will NOT place these bills in their own grade level canister. Oh NO....they place them in the can of another grade level and the "Grinch" bill totals are deducted from the other grade levels accumulated coin totals.
8th grade won this friendly competition last year. Let's have some fun while helping others.
Help us keep our Collecting Can Record! Send canned goods by December 6th!
SVMS will be attempting to keep their title of the school who collected the most cans in the district this year. The week of December 2nd-6th advisories will be collecting cans as a competition. The winning advisories will be able to pie an adult in the face at our next assembly in December.
Our basketball teams will also be competing with each other to see which team can collect the most cans at their games on 12/3 & 12/5.
Please check expiration dates before donating!

December 13th: Last day to contribute to the Staff Holiday Surprise
This will be the second time that we will be supporting families in providing a staff surprise over the holidays. Last year we had enough donations to provide a lunch, but the surprise menu will be dependent on the amount of donations received. We have over 90 staff to support.
We will provide a sign up genius for desserts to be donated as well.
We will begin taking donations for the staff holiday meal November 5th and will continue to accept them through December 13th.
We will be accepting both digital and cash donations. See our square site at https://squareup.com/store/svms-ptsa or send a sealed envelope in to the SVMS PTSA if you would rather send cash or check.
We are asking for some homemade desserts that day as well, see the sign up here to sign up for desserts! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090f4daaa92aabfd0-december.
The surprise will be dependent on the families of SVMS. If we see that you prefer more dessert donations we may have a dessert bar. If we see that families prefer to donate financial contributions we may look into what kind of catering opportunities we can support. It's totally up to the families of SVMS, which is where the surprise comes in!
Also, staff likes to see the family holiday cards, so if you have an extra send that in during this time!
We hope this will provide an easy opportunity for those families that have requested a way to show appreciation to SVMS staff during the holidays.
