We may all be different fish, but in this school we swim together! Check out this beautiful display created by Mrs. Maria Anderson, our Catholic Charities of WNY Social Worker here at SMS! Students were invited to each color a fish to add to the display. #unity #swimtogether



There are #TURKEYS hiding in our hallways! Miss Gon's Kindergarten class is helping turkeys evade the oven this Thanksgiving by dressing them up in disguises! Each student chose how to disguise their turkey, gave it a name, & wrote a description of their disguise. Their creative ideas included a hockey player, ballerina, bee, princess, Harry Potter, unicorn, Barbie, policeman, fox, mummy & bag of popcorn! We think these clever costumes are going to help the turkeys continue to "gobble gobble" well past next week! Which one is your favorite?
