4 Hey Shockers! Our annual coat drive is beginning. We will be collecting coats until January 6th. Beginning Monday, there will be a collection box in the cafetorium. Help out the kids this winter who need coats to keep warm. Coats must be either new or gently used and washed. All coats will be donated to families within our community. Salvation Army s Angel Tree Deadline Extended Through Tuesday, November 22 Homeroom teachers will continue to accept donations for the Salvation Army s Angel Tree through Tuesday, November 22. Each homeroom has adopted an angel and with your help, we can make a boy s or girl s holiday wishes come true. Checks should be made out to SCMS PTO. Our goal is to raise $10,000. If we do so, there will be a Student-Faculty basketball game during school. If we raise $9,000, the grade level that wins will receive open lunch every Wednesday for a month. $8,000 will cause some teachers in each grade to get some pies to the face! We also need help transporting gifts (large SUVs and/or bike racks a plus) and shopping for gifts (students included!).
