Leopard's Pride - SMS Student Council sponsored a holiday canned food drive to benefit the Smithsburg Food Bank.
The students exceeded their 2,500 can goal as they collected 2,583 food items. Five trucks and vans loaded with the donations were delivered recently to the food bank.
The PTSA provided a pizza party served by Principal Kuhaneck, Mrs. Izat, Mrs. Nystrom and members of the Principal's Council to the homerooms collecting the most food items: Mrs. Newkirk (sixth grade), Mrs. Peperak (seventh grade) and Mr. Nystrom (eighth grade.)
Don't forget MSA (Maryland State Assessment) Test Dates: All students will take the reading MSA April 8 and 9 and science MSA May 7 and 8.
Congratulations to Naomi Pettway and Hannah Cooper, who completed the reading challenge. Reading is fundamental, that's why the school continues to encourage students to read 25 books and reward those who do.
The school needs donations for Borders gift cards or the gift cards themselves that will be distributed to students who read 25 books. Please contact Mrs. Smith if you are interested in helping the school celebrate the success of its students.
Thank you to Allegany Dental, Food Lion, Vicki Reed, Emily Rowan and family, Tracy Knight-Simane, My Favorite Place Inc., BJ Builders, Cavetown Auto Parts, and Jamie Weinberg for their generous donations. Thank you for helping us provide rewards for readers!
