As we approach the end of the school year, we invite members of our community to help recognize those individuals whose dedication, faith, and commitment have made a meaningful impact during this school year through the St. John Baptist de La Salle Awards.

• St. John Baptiste de La Salle Elementary Faculty Award
• St. John Baptiste de La Salle High School Faculty Award
• St. John Baptiste de La Salle Staff Award
Nominations may be submitted by SMSA faculty & staff and current parents. If a member of our faculty or staff has made a meaningful impact on your family or the broader SMSA community, inspired learning, or embodied the mission and spirit of SMSA, we encourage you to take a few moments to share your nomination.
The nomination window will be open from March 19 through April 3.Please use the link below to submit a nomination:

Do you have gently used or like new instruments at home?
Do you have a gently used or like new instrument(s) that you are looking to donate? SMSA is looking to add instruments to our band programs for students who are just starting out, in need of help financially, and/or are unsure what they would like to play and may need to try a few different options. Instruments can be dropped off at the North or South office during regular school hours.
Please email gscudella@smsacademy.org with questions.

All uniform and spirit wear pieces that your child outgrows, throughout the school year, can be dropped off at the North, South or Scrip office during regular business hours.
