Throughout December, we will be very busy learning about compassion here at school-what it means, how it will help us and how we can do it! Learning happens best when it is done both at school and at home. In the attached image, you will find many ways that you can help your child continue to learn about the theme of compassion through reading about it, talking about it, and practicing it! We are really excited to begin exploring this topic at school, and we hope your family will enjoy it just as much!


Join us in celebrating a SMGS Christmas Spirit Day on Thursday, December 19th! "Unite as one for the Son" by joining your SMGS family in wearing a red, green or Nativity/Christmas inspired top. Uniform bottoms must be worn, and uniform dress codes still apply.
