It was a busy last Friday night at SMS! Our families came out in costume for #TrunkorTreat then many stayed to watch the Girls' Varsity #Volleyball team battle in their last doubleheader home game of the season. Congratulations to all of our 8th grade lady "Cougar-Bees"! Click the links to see more photos of both events:

Grades 4 & 5 are getting scary good at Math! From 3D ghosts to pumpkins & scarecrows, the boo-tiful work in our elementary hallway just keeps multiplying as our students practice their fractions, decimals, word problems & more.

Reminder - tomorrow is Red Ribbon Day! ❤️ Students may dress in red shirts & socks with their uniforms in support of Red Ribbon Week, the nation's largest and longest-running drug-use prevention campaign. Students do not need to pay to participate in this special dress day.
💙📸🤍🐝 We've loved seeing so many SMS parents share their children's' school photos on social media this weekend, that we thought we'd share a few of our own! Can you match the SMS teacher/staff member to their school photo?

Mrs. Picone's first grade friends practiced their addition and subtraction facts with a Halloween board game! There were SO many winners because they are INCREDIBLE mathematicians! ➕➖🟰❤️
Mrs. Laderer's fifth graders were excited to present their narrative writings to the class! They practiced being terrific audience members, providing positive feedback to those who shared. They cannot wait for our next writing assignment!
Some of our 8th grade students spent time this week reading to friends in our #Montessori Children's House. "Reading Buddy" programs like ours benefit both the older & younger students by providing opportunities to become role models & mentors, enhancing confidence, developing social-emotional skills, improving literacy & listening skills, encouraging responsibility, & creating a stronger school community. #readingbuddies
#Kindergarten has been getting into the #SpookySeason & working in groups to create 3-D #Math pumpkins! Each group chose a lucky number, then showed the number in different ways; written out, counted out, or in a tens frame. They also had a chance to create a fun #pumpkin face!
📸 School Photo Day is clicking right along! All students will have their photo taken today for the yearbook, so don't worry if you forgot to send in your student's order form, you can still order photos online at mylifetouch.com.

Who doesn't love a good jigsaw puzzle?! Students enjoy working together on a puzzle when they have a few minutes to spare during Religion class.
Don't forget...school picture day is tomorrow! All students should dress in their picture day best! Parents/guardians may pre-order photos at mylifetouch.com using the SMS ID that was sent in the "Buzz".
