Hello Shaker families!
This is a big reminder that our annual
SMS Family Thanksgiving Dinner
is being held this
Monday, November 13, from 5:45-8pm
. There will be great food (including turkey!), entertainment, and company! A special thank you to the PTO for making this event happen. Additional information is included in the eScoop below.
In my blurb this week, I am also including a note from the Team that was formerly known as Gladiators. Thank you to our students and teachers for raising this issue and for coming up with a great solution. Welcome Team Innovators!!!
From Team Innovators (formerly Gladiators):
After our students studied the Roman Empire,
they were concerned that our Team may have been
named after a group of warrior slaves. They no longer
wanted this to represent us. In their Individuals & Societies
classes each student was given an opportunity to brainstorm
a list of possible new Team names. Once the Team teachers
narrowed down the list of potential names, students voted
on their favorite and "Innovators" was chosen as our new name.
We believe that our new Team name is much more positive
and better aligns with what we are trying to accomplish here at SMS.
Thanks,
Teachers known formerly as Gladiators
As you can see, we have a great community of thoughtful students and teachers.
I look forward to seeing you soon!
Sincerely,
