SMS Angels
SMS Angels
Welcome new and returning families! For those of you who have not heard of us we are an anonymous group of parents who assist those students needing a "hand up" as referred confidentially by Gretchen Kujawa, our school's Youth Resource Officer. Items that the Angels have provided for our students in the past include; zippered binders, sweathshirts, shoes/boots, pants, etc. As the weather begins to change our requests for items typically increases. Please consider helping the Angels with a monetary donation so that we may continue to serve our students in need. If you would like to help you may send in a check to the Student Services (guidance) office. Please make payable to "SMS Angels". All donations are tax deductible. Thank you for your support!
