St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Fundraiser

 

Each year, the SMS Math department, led by Mr. Martin, does a fundraiser for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  This year was our best ever fundraiser.  Seckman Middle was able to send a check to St. Jude for  

$4038.20!!

The fundraiser was done by working a night at the Culver's Restaurant in Arnold, donations, and holding a Penny War between advisories.  This years Penny War winner was Mr. Perry's advisory.  Their reward was going to all three lunch periods.  Way to go!

Archery - State Tournament

The SMS Archery Team competed in the Missouri State Tournament last Saturday.  This was the first major tournament for many of the archers and they did great.  Our team ended up with a score of 3070 out of a possible 3600.  This is a huge improvement  from the St. Louis tournament and helped us to a 10th place overall finish.  Richie Freuks placed 5th in the state for the Boys Middle School division with a score of 284/300.  Brittney Hudson scored a perfect 50 on her opening round!!  That was our first perfect score and she did it in a tournament.  Great job and congratulations to all the archers.  Our score also qualified us to go to Nationals in Louisville, KY in May.

 This is half the team.  One half shot at 5pm and the other half at 6pm.  All while a blizzard was coating the streets outside.

 This years State Tournament was at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg.

 

 

Some of the girls went up to accept the trophy on Richie's behalf.  A few families headed home before the snow storm got bad.

Pet Palooza

This years Pet Palooza was held on March 13th.  Students were able to bring their pet to school and walk the red carpet during our Intramural Volleyball assembly.  This year we had a variety of pets; dogs, cats, a rabbit, a lizard, and a goat.  As always, The Poop Patrol did a great job!  Check out the pictures below.
