This past Thursday, our students absolutely showed out and reminded us what it means to LEAD, LEARN, SERVE, and EXCEL. From powerful performances to creative displays, every part of the night reflected the talent, dedication, and heart of our Tigers!
Our band, chorus, and art students put in the work and it showed. The energy, confidence, and pride on display made it clear: the arts are alive and thriving at SMS!
A huge shoutout to Mr. Chesnutt, Ms. Like, and Ms. Randall for creating opportunities for students to shine, and to our families and community for showing up and supporting them.
Shout out to Mr. Evans for the leadership, vision, and steady presence he brings to our school each and every day! Thank you for supporting our students, uplifting our staff, and building a strong Tiger community where everyone can grow and succeed.
