To kick off the 4th week of school at SMS, students and staff gathered for our weekly Maroon Meeting! We introduced the Weekly Act of Kindness Challenge: Aiming to pick up at least one piece of litter each day 🗑️.
We also shared an update on club sign-ups 📝, letting students know they’ll get to begin voicing their club interests this week then signing up.
Plus, we took a moment to celebrate our Athletes/Band Members of the Week 🏅—a big shoutout to those who are making us proud on the field and in the band! 🎷🏈🏃♂️⚽🏐
Congratulations to: Cade Sweet, Sam Lewis, Mollie Tooker, Koen Smith, Mia Bozarth, Rio Helpman, Savannah Taylor, Karin Greene!
The highlight of the meeting was the game of the week: a highly competitive Tug-o-War 💪 as part of our ongoing Viking Games in honor of Coach Payne. The grade levels faced off, and 8th grade 🥇 emerged victorious, taking first place!

🌟 Weekly Challenge at SMS! 🌟
This week, we’re all about keeping our campus clean and welcoming for everyone. If you see litter in the hallways, cafeteria, or on your way to class, take a moment to pick it up and toss it in the trash.
Challenge: Pick up at least one piece of litter every day and invite a friend to join in! Let’s turn this into a team effort and show how much we care about our school environment and each other.
Who’s in? Let’s make a difference and show how we take pride in keeping our campus clean!
