Box Top Collection February 2nd-6th

Our SCMS PTO Box Top collection with February 2nd-6th. It is unbelievable to me how much money we have collected in the past, all of which directly goes toward our students through our PTO. Please bundle up any Box Tops you have laying around your house and send them in with your student next week.

Missing Something?

Being a father of three boys, I completely understand the frustration of things that magically disappear. When my boys were younger, it would be coats, sweatshirts, baseball mits, hockey sticks, etc. Now it's my tools, ladders, battery chargers, shovels, etc. If you're missing something that belongs to your student, please encourage them to look through our Lost and Found. We have a wide range of coats, sweatshirts, lunchboxes, books that have been left unclaimed. Any clothing items that go unclaimed by the end of this week will be donated to Kids in Distress.

SCMS Band...Woooooo Hooooo

Twenty eight of our 7th and 8th Grade Band members participated in the MSBOA District 16 Solo & Ensemble Festival at Rochester HS on Saturday. Our students participated twenty two events - solos, duets, trios and a quartet - and they all earned medals - nineteen "Blue" First Division medals and sixteen "Red" Second Division medals. It was a great day to be a Saint. Congrats to Mr. Decker and all of our Band members.
