SMS Middle School - Giants of the Gym

Dear SMS Community,

We are only a few days away from the season's biggest event! We hope you join us for the SMS Winter Ball on Saturday, January 27. There are many ways to participate, even if you aren't able to attend. Please use this link to bid on our catalog of silent auction items generously donated by local businesses, staff, friends of SMS, and many of you. The SMS Silent Auction will close at noon on Sunday, January 28.

We are also fast approaching the end of the second quarter, which marks the halfway point of our academic schedule for the year. Quarter II will end on Friday, January 26. Following the quarter's close, students who are incomplete on assignments for QII will be required to attend supervised study hall and will only participate in double session training once their academic work is up to date. Please contact Mr. Lehmann if you have any questions about our academic policies.

We have enjoyed the return of winter weather to the mountain and the expanded training opportunities that the recent snow has created. Seeing our student-athletes enjoying the sports they love is always a pleasure. We wish them all a few personal bests in the coming weeks!

In partnership.

Holly
