THE 5K = RIP ROARING SUCCESS!
1. SMMS was number one in registrant count, easily surpassing 200 participants, when no other school reached 200.
2. SMMS was number one for performance, when our Cheer team took first place in the dance competition.
3. SMMS was number one for the staff relay, when the hobbled but gritty trifecta of Castillo-Daily-Metzgar finished first place, earning our school $1,000.
4. We had fun, and finished second place in the Spirit Competition!
Again, many thanks to all who helped make the event a success and special thanks to Teresa Rodriguez for her hard work as Chair.

MONDAY DRESS
All students must wear a costume of a book character. If the character is from a game, not a book, it will not be acceptable. The students should be able to explain the book as well as the character from the book.
In addition, the general rule is that students can't wear any head coverings, and it shouldn't be something that would scare the younger students.
There will still be mass on Monday for 2nd-8th grade, and students may attend in costume, barring unforeseen costume choices.
MASS TUESDAY, NO MASS WEDNESDAY
We will have mass at 8:30 on Tuesday for All Saints' day. After mass, students will have a special celebration of their classrooms' patron saints, as well as all saints! Parents are more than welcome to attend!
PTC NACHO NIGHT THIS WEDNESDAY
