Big Money Raffle
Each year, Big Money Raffle (BMR) raises between $50-$60k. Your participation in the sale of these tickets is imperative. BMR helps keep tuition affordable for families as 100% of the profits offset operational costs at SMSA. Did you know that it costs SMSA $37,000 annually for officials at sporting events, $775 to rent Fruth Field for each home football game, and for all System Masses, it costs $1,670 to bus everyone to Holy Family?
Your participation makes a difference!
BMR Ticket Pick Up
If you were unable to pick up your BMR tickets at conferences last week, we will be making arrangements to get them to you. You may also contact Kristin Zitlow at kzitlow@smsacademy.org or 920-322-8006 to pick them up.
Extra tickets are available in the Scrip, North or South Hall Offices.

A Video Reflection from Fr. Mike Schmitz
Fr. Mike Schmitz wants to straighten out some confusion regarding Catholics’ veneration of saints. In this video he explains how—far from being icons to worship—statues and paintings of the saints are reminders of what God can do in someone’s life, so honoring the saints doesn’t take away from the glory we give God. It actually brings him greater glory.

SCRIP
Use Scrip for your Christmas shopping
Christmas is less than 2 months away, can you believe it!?
Make Christmas shopping easier by giving gift-cards, purchased from the Scrip Office, as gifts to your family, friends and co-workers. A portion of the purchase price is returned to you as a rebate. Part of that rebate is then added to your SCRIP account and used to offset your tuition costs at SMSA or any tuition-based school. The remaining rebates are then used to help offset the operating costs of the System.
Remember, if we don’t have what you are looking for in inventory, please ask. We may be able to place a special order for you!
Give the gift of Scrip and have more time to focus on the true meaning of Christmas!
Office Hours
Scrip hours for the academic school year
