This year we are partnering with Father Joe’s Villages. Students will be going and serving lunch at their facilities, making items for Father Joe’s, and helping out in various ways.
During the month of October, we will be collecting socks for Father Joe’s Sock Drive. Father Joe’s is in need of 1,000 PAIRS OF NEW SOCKS.
Please bring your donations to the office or to your child’s classroom.
Thank you so much for helping us with this great cause.

Hello everyone,
Summer is quickly coming to an end and it is time to think about school supply shopping and the various forms the office will need in the coming weeks. Please click on the SUMMER MAILING link to see a copy of our newsletter and access to all our forms.
We hope you have had a wonderful summer and can’t wait to see all of you on August 22nd at 7:50 am.
Want to come back to school in the fall and attend our ice cream social? What about having the math department serve you pancakes? If either of these options interest you, please take a moment and check out the information below.
Every summer our students are asked to read and complete math assignments (grades 4-8) to help prevent the summer slide. Below you will find the links needed for these assignments.
Mrs. Marcelino’s Ice Cream Social Summer Reading Log – Students in kindergarten through third grade are asked to read and record 10 books. Students in fourth and fifth grade are asked to read five books, and middle school students are asked to read three books.
Middle School Reading (6-8) – We are asking all students to read at least two books over the summer and complete the work attached. Read the letter to find out more about what is being asked of our students.
Summer Math (4-8) – Students in fourth through eighth grade are asked to complete 8 ALEKS assignments over the summer with a score of 90% or higher. If students score lower, they can use the Quick Retake option to simply redo the problems they missed. Assignments can be found in the upper left hand corner of ALEKS by clicking on the three lines and selecting “Assignments”. It is strongly suggested that students complete the 8 ALEKS topics before working on their personal pie if they are close to finishing their pie so as to not lose their work on the assignments.
Thank you! We hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you on Wednesday, August 22nd.
We were able to complete a loan on Friday! A woman named Gertrude from the Philippines needed $25 to get 100% funded and SMA was able to provide it! The $200 loan will help Gertrude build a toilet for her family. In a past Kiva lesson, the students learned about the importance of sanitation and hygiene. Gertrude’s new toilet will help reduce health risks to her family. We are so happy for her!
The students in the Journalism elective class have put together the first issue of Stellar News online. Please check out our first edition HERE!
