January 25-29

January 25th through January 29th, 2016.

Dear parents and students:

The Student Council has prepared an activity for students and teachers at SMES- “Spirit Week” from January 25- 29. The purpose of Spirit Week is to get the students enthused and supportive of the school. The week would also serve to get students involved, working cooperatively and united on a common goal of promoting the school and celebrating 100 days of classes.

Spirit Week will not interfere with regular classes at school. Each day will have a theme and students and teachers will dress up as stated, please take note this will all be for free.

On Friday, the STUCO will name the grade winner of "Spirit Week" and will have a morning full of fun and activities for the whole school: movie showings, karaoke, bobbing for apples, a scavenger hunt. STUCO will also be selling food (hot dogs), pop corn, minutas, cotton candy, chocolate cake, and drinks. This day there will be early dismissal, 11:30 a.m.

We thank you in advance for your support.
