Playground pals: daily there are 3-4 middle
school students who go to the elementary school to help the K-Gr.2 students
while they are outside on their noon hour. The playground pals are there to
make sure that every student has someone to play with. They model
appropriate interaction amongst the children, how to make a friend, how to
invite someone to join your group etc.
14 Peer Helpers will be involved in delivering lessons to the kindergarten students at the elementary school beginning this month.

Although we had many excellent presenters, our judges had the difficult task of selecting one speaker to represent our school at the district level. We are proud to announce this year's Oratory representative for SMS will be Emma Duke. Emma will participate in the District Oratory Competition to be held at Riverview High School on May 3rd, 2010.
