Holiday Candlelighting
Although the holidays are often a time full of excitement and cheer, it can also be a difficult time of year for some individuals and families who have experienced the loss of a loved one or are going through a difficult time. As a way of supporting our SMS Family, the guidance department will be offering a free candle lighting for any student who would like to dedicate a candle and write a message to a special loved one. The candle lighting will take place on Tuesday, 12/19/17, during the last 10 minutes of students’ lunch periods (between 10:30AM-1:00PM). Parents are welcome to sign up for their child, however, if you do, please be sure to communicate to your child that your have signed him or her up to participate. Anyone who would like to participate must sign up by Friday 12/15/17 to ensure that we have enough supplies. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact your child's school counselor.
