⛸️ Although we've said "arrivederci" to the Winter Olympics, our students are still achieving #Buzzworthy feats! SMS students Fionna O. & Lydia M. both had the opportunity to not only compete in the Empire State Games held in Lake Placid in early Feb., but they also held the torch when it made it's way through Buffalo prior to the games!
Fionna competed at her 2nd winter games this year, & loved all the extra activities that came with the competition & Lake Placid area, including dog sledding! Fionna plans to continue to work & grow in skating & hopefully be back at it again next year.
Lydia had a beautiful program against some great skaters this year & finished 4th in her group. Competition season rolls on for Lydia with Rochester, Cheektowaga & Pittsburgh in the months ahead. Her program this year features axels, so she’s excited to master those!
Great job to both of our #Buzzworthy athletes!

❤️🍦 Grade 2 had so much fun “shaking it up" for Valentine's Day! Mrs. Wojtaszek's class has the wonderful tradition of making homemade ice cream each year for their Valentines Day class party. Students learn about the science behind the recipe, & get to enjoy a sweet treat after they're "all shook up". Thank you to everyone who supplied the class with their ingredients!

One of our SMS #OlympicGames that students took part in before Feb. break involved our 7th & 1st graders teaming up to try to "speed skate" around the gym on pieces of paper. It's harder than it looks, but a lot of fun!

🇺🇸 While you might be waking early this am to cheer on the US Mens' Hockey team, check out some of our own SMS Olympic competitions held during #Spiritweek. From our Parade of Nations, Olympic themed artwork & door decorating contest, "Where in the world is Mrs. D'Angelo", & Olympic trivia, to "Medal Day" on which students dressed in gold, silver or bronze, & our Faith Family Olympics, our students learned the value (and fun!) of a little healthy competition.

It's another #throwbackthursday - Kindergarten style! Miss Gon's Kindergarten cuties colored some beautiful bees during Catholic Schools Week, then delivered them to the mailboxes of SMS teachers & staff. What a nice way to show appreciation for all that our hardworking staff does each & every day!

🐢 Our Montessori Pre-K students are really loving their new class pet - Bennett the turtle! Students voted on a name for their new pet before he arrived, & now that he's here they have new work to go along with him. There are interesting facts about Bennett's species posted above his enclosure so that friends can learn more about him. Additionally, students may work on an observation sheet that records whether Bennett is eating, sleeping, walking, or hiding!
