Last week the SMS Class of 2026 attended the Mass for Catholic School 8th Graders at St.Joseph Cathedral. This Mass is always such a special celebration of 8th grade students from all of the WNY Catholic Schools, and has become an SMS 8th grade tradition.

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!

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.🎄

🚘🧽💦🌯 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.

❄️🫎🎄🎁 SMS families- don't forget, our Merry Moose Shop opens tomorrow! Dec. 3rd, 4th & 5th, students will have the opportunity to pick out their own inexpensive, high quality gifts for family and friends during school hours.

The Merry Moose Shop will be set up in the school and run by parent and school volunteers. Gifts are priced with a child’s budget in mind, with most ranging from $1.00 - $6.00. A budgeting envelope and flyer came home in backpacks, allowing you and your child to be able to decide together how much you’d like to spend and on whom. Please return the envelope with shopping money in it in order for your child to be able to shop by Weds. Dec. 4th.

The “Merry Moose Shop” is designed to be a safe, child-centered environment where children can learn how to budget and spend wisely, while they also experience the joy of giving at this blessed time of year.

PLEASE NOTE: SHOPPING IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL.

VOLUNTEER to help with Merry Moose here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C044CAEAD2CA3F94-60291530-2025#/
