NOW UNTIL AUG. 29: SHOP THE GENTLY-USED UNIFORM SALE
Be sure to stop by the school office just inside door B1 to pick up enough polos, jumpers, pants & more to last the school year and keep your student looking sharp. These items are available for a small donation, and many families are able to purchase all of their uniform items from us at a fraction of the cost of what they would be new! We’re still accepting clean, gently used uniform donations at the school office as well - thank you SMS families for “paying it forward” with your donations!
