Saber Happenings!
#BuildingtheSaberLegacy || Week of January 6th
Principal's Message
Welcome back! Hopefully your family enjoyed a great break. I know I speak for the staff at SLMS in saying that we are ready to get into the swing of things. It is already January and the end of first semester is just around the corner.
Be sure to take a few minutes to check Skyward and talk to your student about where their grades are and whether they are happy with their progress.
Finally, don't forget that our Winter Sports Season #2 practices start January
Thank you!
-Mark Beddes

Meet your Team Adams Teachers!
Mr. Naiker
Mr. Naiker (rhymes with hiker) is Team Adams’ Connections teacher. He hopes to be the concierge for communication between students, teachers and families. This will be Mr. Naiker’s 7th year teaching, third year at SLMS and second year as Team Adams Connections teacher. When Mr. Naiker is not at SLMS, he is at home with his three daughters and son watching Peppa Pig, making movies about princess knights, holding his breath while they perform some sort of American Ninja Warrior stunt and sneaking chocolate treats from the pantry.

When she’s not shooting off rockets, or dissecting frogs, Mrs. Boyd loves being with her family. She has been married to her husband Kraig for 27 years. She keeps a fortune from a fortune cookie taped to her computer at all times that says, “An airplane ride is soon in your future sending you to fun”! Let’s all take a ride to fun together this year!!
