Calendar pages have been turned to month of March, yet there is no sign of spring in sight since winter is refusing to admit its time is over. Snow shovels have been used more this year than ever before. Students have not attended a full, uninterrupted week of school since December. We are still digging out of this memorable winter. Good news, I see footprints of Spring, it will be here soon!
SMC Student Recital was held at Jordan Kitts. Luke and Reyna received Honors, congratulations!
Due to frightening winter storm and dangerous weather conditions, only a few students could attend NVTMA Bach Baroque Festival. Sophia will receive a 15 point Award, 3 years of "Superior" rating!
