Giving Wall - SMS Gives Back
This year, SMS Gives Back will have a "Giving Wall" to raise money for students and their families who may need some extra help during the holiday season. The "Giving Wall" will replace the gift baskets that have been sold during the holiday concerts in years past.
Parents, grandparents, friends and family may make a monetary donation to the "Giving Wall" and sign their name on a paper ornament that will be displayed on our Christmas tree.
Donations of $5, $10, $20, $40, $50 and "other" donations may be made during the holiday concerts. There will be a new wall for each concert. If all ornaments are taken from the board, $800 (or more) will be raised at each event.
Volunteers are needed to help sell the ornaments during the concerts. Paper ornaments will be sold before and after the concerts, and during intermission, so you will not miss your child performing.
Parents, who will not be at the concerts, also have the opportunity to donate using Cheddar Up by visiting this link: https://sms-gives-back-giving-wall.cheddarup.com
Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

Holiday Candle Lighting
Holiday Candle Lighting
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 school counselors will be offering a free candle lighting for anyone who would like to dedicate a candle and write a message to a special loved one. The candle lighting will take place on Wednesday, 12/18 in the auditorium from 7:20am-7:50am.
Any student, parent, or staff member who would like to participate must sign up using the “Holiday Candle Lighting” form by Friday, 12/13 to ensure that we have enough supplies. (The form is also located on the SMS Counseling Webpage.) If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact your child's grade level School Counselor:
6th Grade - Mrs. Pietrocini (spietrocini@scsmustangs.org)
7th Grade - Mrs. Ray (eray@scsmustangs.org)
8th Grade - Mrs. Coblentz (hcoblentz@scsmustangs.org)
