Wishing our 8th graders a fun time 'in the city' tonight!

SHMS will host a fun 5K run next Friday, May 23rd. Any donations raised will go to the 8th grade service project - Veterans Multi-Service Center. We will need a few parent volunteers to help hand out water as kids go to their respective areas when they finish the race. Please remember to submit your clearances if they are not already on file. Thank you!

Mental Health Awareness Month is observed in May each year to promote mental health education, reduce stigma, and encourage support for those affected by mental health conditions. It was established in 1949 by Mental Health America and includes various activities and themes aimed at raising awareness and advocating for better mental health care. Make sure you check in on your friends, family, neighbors and co-workers. It could make a world of a difference!
