Special welcome to students new to Schimelpfenig and some who have returned Face-to-Face for the first time this week. It's a big building but it's full of friendly faces willing and able to help with any questions you might have.

It’s hard to believe that it’s the middle of December, the winter solstice is upon us, and the year 2021 will soon be here.

There is light at the end of the tunnel that is 2020! Our winter break starts tomorrow, after an early release at 12:45, and we will see you back at Schimelpfenig MS on January 5, 2021.

From your SMS PTA Board, we wish you all:

Happy Holidays and Cheers to

a bright, healthy, prosperous new year!
