Dear SHMS HSA families,

We hope everyone had a happy Thanksgiving! Thank you to those who attended our last HSA meeting of the calendar year. If you missed the meeting you can view the Zoom meeting here. You may also read the meeting notes here. Our next HSA meeting will be in January and will be in person. We hope to see you there.

Before the Thanksgiving break, the 6th grade class had their 2nd annual Turkey Trot. The HSA was able to support this event by supplying hot chocolate and bottles of water. Thank you to all our volunteers who dropped off bottles of water and cups and a huge thank you to all who helped made and served hot chocolate to the kids. We saw a lot of happy faces that day!
