💯🤓☀️ We had a fantastic 100th day of school this week! Students were invited to dress up as 100 year olds, or create a shirt featuring 100 items. We saw lots of creativity! Grades Pre-K through 2 enjoyed a fun filled day with "100" inspired activities, including making a necklace with 100 Froot Loops or Cheerios, completing a search and find of 100 Hershey Kisses, keeping a balloon in the air for 100 seconds, and more. We are 100 days brighter! Click here to see even more photos: https://tinyurl.com/yx989fxz
🐄🥛 Our Montessori Pre-K- through grade 2 students had fun before February Break watching the Milk for Health Magician, Rob Allen! His nutrition and dairy focused magic show is always a hit among crowds of all ages.
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!

🚂 Grades K, 1 & 2 had SNOW much fun the last week of school! With Christmas themed games, art work, snacks, crafts & more, these students made the most of it! They even ended the day with a "Polar Express" movie party together. Click here for more photos of their fun: https://tinyurl.com/yc63bbs5
This past week grades K-2 had a lot of fun & a break away from their routine lessons when they went on a "splendiferous" field trip! Our students laughed it up and enjoyed learning about what goes on behind the scenes at the Theatre of Youth. Fancy Nancy was a cute performance for the holiday season!
🍂🍁 Kindergarten investigated pumpkins last week & had some Fall fun! They used their 5 senses to dive deep into what a pumpkin sounds, looks, smells, & feels like. (They left the tasting for another day!) Students also measured pumpkin height using math manipulatives & graphed their favorite pumpkin face. After they got their hands all gooey, they got outside to enjoy the Fall weather with an oozing pumpkin experiment & a bit of playing in the Fall leaves.
Our Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade students were treated to quite the adventure this week - a trip to Akron Acres! Students had the chance to go on a wagon ride, pick a pumpkin from the patch, ride a pony, & learn about all sorts of farm animals! Click the link to see more photos: https://tinyurl.com/2dnnew97
It's not too early to start thinking about Pre-K or Kindergarten for next year! Did you know that parents generally start looking for preschools & kindergartens around 6 to 12 months before enrollment? Starting the search process early is beneficial to allow ample time for research, visiting schools, applying & potentially getting on wait lists, especially in high-demand areas.
