⛄️ Mrs. Witkowski's grade 3-5 Science classes had a blast with a special snowman lesson recently! Students created their own snowmen and then dissolved them in water. The classes discussed solubility & what increases the rate of solubility.

Grade 2 learned about MLK Jr. last week and did a great job on their reports! We hope everyone enjoys their day off today, but also remembers the reason for today's holiday. In the words of the late Dr. King, "The time is always right to do right."

🖼️ THE ARTS are alive & well at SMS! Grade 4 recently took a field trip to the Buffalo AKG Art Museum & had a blast in the "One with Eternity" exhibition by Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama.

Students at SMS receive art instruction twice weekly, can join Art Club starting in grade 4, and have the opportunity to exhibit their work in our annual "Night of the Arts" show that coincides with our Spring Concert. Students are able to explore a variety of media including clay sculpture, painting, drawing, paper crafts, & more. They draw inspiration from important figures in art history, as well as religious art, & learn about how art influences & makes commentary on our world.

Arts education boosts creativity, critical thinking, & problem-solving, while also fostering social-emotional growth, cultural awareness, & academic performance across subjects like math & reading.

If you're looking for a school where your child is encouraged to explore their creative talents, join us at Open House on Sun., Jan. 25th from 10:30 am - 12 pm.
