Welcome to another great year at SMS!! The PTA helps organize Spirit Nights each month at local establishments. A portion of the sales go directly to the SMS PTA to support student and staff activities. Please consider visiting these establishments throughout the year to help us raise money.
The first Spirit Night of the year is at Raising Cane's on Coit/Spring Creek on August 21 between 4-8pm. See the flyer for more details.
Thank you for all your support!
