Good morning,
I wanted to send a reminder that pick up for 5th and 6th grade student eLearning packets is today (Monday, March 16) from 12-5 at Somonauk Middle School. eLearning packets will be located in the cafeteria and each student's packet will be labeled. Please enter through the south cafeteria doors (these are the same doors that your student would enter the building on a school day). If your student needs to gather any supplies in a locker, the hallways will be open. Additionally, Mr. Lambert has communicated with band students as to how to access band instruments. Everyone who enters the building is expected to follow social distancing guidelines.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out!
Although our students are not able to shave their heads today, they are proudly wearing their St. Baldrick's shirts and ready to brave the shave when our event is rescheduled. We are so proud of these students for raising funds for Childhood Cancer Research.
We could not be more proud to announce that SMS raised $891.21 in our Bucket’s for Baldrick’s Tournament! That amount will be added to the district’s total raised in the fight against childhood cancer. The final round was so close and went down to the final moments of the competition. However, after a hard fought battle, the 6th grade boys were able to come out on top for the victory! They have had their sights set on winning this tournament since their second place finish last year. Congratulations on being persistent, winning the pizza party, and most importantly supporting the fight against childhood cancer!

The Junior Council Leadership Board is excited to announce that they have raised funds to offer the teachers an educational mini-grant. From their hard-work they have raised $300 and wanted to give back to our school through two mini-grants of $150 each! After careful consideration they presented the checks to the two lucky winners! We can’t wait to see the visual art Mrs. Miller is going to add in the hallway and the TV in the cafeteria for announcements and pictures that Miss Ashley was hoping for!
