Staff members at SMES decorated pumpkins that the students get to view. They vote for their favorite and the winner will be announced today! How fun!!



The weather lately has the students wearing jackets and hats in the morning and t-shirts in the afternoon. If you recognize any of these, please call the office or send a note with your child so that we can send them back home.
