Fundraising
In addition to our Annual Donation Drive, PTSO sponsors the Panther Run Jog-A-Thon. This event raises money to support our initiatives.

Renaissance
SMS recognizes and celebrates academic excellence, effective employment skills, and positive behavior. Renaissance creates a culture that honors high academic performance and excellent behavior and encourages all students to strive for the recognition. Students earn a variety of recognition opportunities each nine-week grading period, depending on the criteria they meet. Students earn Renaissance recognition with a grade point average of 3.5 or above. We also recognize those students who show improvement of .5 gpa over the previous marking period.

      Holiday Giving Campaign
      What is the SMS Holiday Giving Program?

      The SMS Holiday Giving Campaign was created to help our less fortunate students during the holiday season. The school PTSO and our Guidance Counselors, purchase gifts for twenty in need SMS students each year.  The program only works with the help of our families who donate.

      How will my donation be used?

      Your donation will be used to buy the students everyday necessities, including toiletries and basic clothing. Each student is also asked to request one “wish item” which we do our best to accommodate. All the items are assembled into festive gift bags, which are picked up or delivered to the students’ homes.
