Last week we had some students travel to Little Rock to participate in the state Technology Student Association leadership conference. We were the only middle school chapter that made it there which placed these students in breakout sessions with juniors and seniors. The students were given challenges such as public speaking, fundraiser planning, community service planning, and general leadership planning. The students pictured were able to keep up with their high school counterparts and performed so well that DESE staff and the other advisors present commented on their performance. We are proud of these students for representing SSMS so well!! #PantherNation #SSMS
Last month, our choir students had a cheesecake fundraiser. This fundraiser helps keep our program “fee free,” covering costs like choir t-shirts, formal uniforms, choir binders and music, and event registration.
The cheesecakes arrived yesterday! Heart & Soul choir students helped unload the truck, unbox the cheesecakes, and sort them into individual orders. According to the shipment invoice, these girls moved over 1700 POUNDS of cheesecake yesterday!
We are so proud of our students for not only being amazing singers, but helpful hard workers as well. Way to go, choir kids! #PantherNation #SSMS
