WE RECEIVED A GOOD NEWS (ANONYMOUS) MESSAGE FROM A PARENT THAT MR. COLLINS WANTS TO SHARE WITH YOU
Hi Mr. Collins,
I just wanted to “anonymously” brag about one of our SMM parents. Today while I was taking my daughter to school, there was a truck stalled in the right hand lane of Gause Blvd near 9th St. As I passed, the driver was starting to get out of his truck, so I told my daughter to say a prayer for him as the roads were wet and it was a dangerous spot. We prayed for him and continued on to school. While I was returning home, after safely dropping off my daughter, it warmed my heart to see that a kind gentleman was helping the older driver push his truck to a safe spot. As I got closer, I recognized that the kind gentleman was an SMM parent (and son of SMM faculty - their family is pretty distinguishable). It was Jeff Ganucheau who had pulled over (and safely parked his minivan - which I assume was full of his beautiful children on their way to school) to get out in the rain and help the driver. If the Ganucheau crew was tardy today, I sure hope they were excused, as witnessing their daddy’s act of kindness is one of life’s best lessons! I’m proud to be part of the SMM family!
CONGRATULATIONS!

PINEWOOD DERBY RESULTS
CAN YOU SPOT THIS YELLOW MUSCLE CAR?
Jim also has his cars managed by a company that finds vintage cars to be used in movies. HIs yellow muscle car can be seen in a new Disney Plus TV mini-series, rated PG, called "Secrets of Sulphur Springs." It is about a family who, unbeknownst to them, bought a haunted hotel on the edge of a small town. The trailer for the new series is below the pictures of Jim's cars.
