Select SMGS students were allowed to tour K-State or KU sports facilities because of their very hard work to exceed their goals during our catalog sales fundraiser! Their efforts allow us to continue our focus on building a playground fence as well as fund field trips, assist teachers with Friday Family expenses and celebrate the staff and students at SMGS. Thank YOU for supporting their efforts and helping them sell and deliver all of their goodies!

This year we are focusing on a different character word each month. One thing we are doing to help promote the word is to have someone come in to talk to the students about how they use word of the month in their lives. November’s word is Gratitude. The definition of gratitude is focusing on what’s good in our lives and being thankful for the things we have. We asked Mallory Hammer if she would be our speaker on Gratitude this month. She came in and did a short presentation using the letters in the word Gratitude to tell things that she was grateful for in her life. We would like to say thank you to Mallory and her family for taking the time to come in for a visit at SMGS.
Thanksgiving with a Loved One went off without a hitch!! Everything went to smoothly. A special shout out to our amazing food services staff, the cast of Seussical the Musical, and SMPD for making this day one to remember and be grateful for! So many photos that I am including a link to our google folder for you to peruse at your leisure!! Enjoy!
