On Tuesday, this Teen Teach group of 8th graders taught Ms. Hammonds' 5th grade class the dangers of vaping and how to be more resilient and cope in healthy ways!

Way to set a great example, Cardinals!!!

SHS artists just finished up their first big project of the school year, and we are so pleased with the high volume of outstanding work that came as a result! For this project, students created work using line as their primary element of art, and emphasis as their primary principle of design. Students have three opportunities to have their work on display following the completion of each project throughout the year. Students may have their work posted on the art bulletin board, on display in the library, and for the first time, their work may also be chosen to be matted, framed, and on display at the central office.






This Cardinal student and Mookie are celebrating a great week at SMS!!! Have a great weekend!


We are so excited that the main hallway in the central office has been converted into a gallery walkway for our student artists! SHS artists were challenged to create line-based illustrations with a strong sense of emphasis. The artworks chosen for this display are truly exemplary, and can best be appreciated in person! Please congratulate the following artists on their excellent work:
Daniel Madrigal
Molly Bailey
Izzy Quinton
Boston Setzer
Aaleigha Decker
Sam Skaggs
Audrey King
Bree Mitchell
Miriam Madrigal
Bella Leaser
(Names are listed according to display order from left to right.)
