Grade 3 is doing a wonderful job learning about the water cycle. In science class they made water cycle wheels & had a blast singing & acting out their "water cycle song". They also decorated Mrs. Witkowski's "Giantmicrobe" Christmas Tree.🎄

Grade 1 did a candy cane experiment last week with Mrs. Picone that was SO cool! Students were amazed as to what happened to the sugary treat in the water, vinegar, soda, and oil!

🚘🧽💦🌯 Here's a great Christmas gift idea, & an opportunity to take a night off from dinner!

As our 8th grade class prepares for their class trip to Philadelphia, they are selling Delta Sonic Car Wash gift cards & holding a dining out night at Chipotle on Niagara Falls Boulevard on Dec. 15th. Car washes make great Christmas gifts, & both events support our students. Click below to learn more. Thanks in advance for your support!

Grade 2 has been comparing & contrasting the past with today! Students recently shared re-caps of interviews they held with an older friend or family member. They asked what school was like when that individual was in 2nd grade, & then had to think about how some things are the same, while others have certainly changed! They did a fantastic job presenting.

We're getting excited for our HSA Thanksgiving luncheon tomorrow! Really it's a FEAST, lovingly prepared & served to our students & staff by volunteer parents & guardians. While they wait for lunch students make Thanksgiving crafts & play games with their Faith Families, like the board games our middle school students created!

Also, SMS families, tomorrow is the last day to contribute to our "Hope for the Homeless" food & supply drive. Homelessness can make daily living challenging. Everyday activities such as eating & maintaining basic hygiene can become difficult. As a school family we are endeavoring to help the homeless this Thanksgiving with their basic needs, so they have what they need AFTER the hot Thanksgiving meal of turkey and stuffing. Please review the chart below, and bring in any NEW item(s) you are able that have been assigned to your student's grade level. Thank you in advance for your support!

"When you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous". Luke 14:13-14
