A long standing tradition at SMSA continues again this year with the Christmas Card Fundraiser, in which students in grades 3 through 8 will be creating and selling hand-made Christmas cards. These cards will be sold for $2.00 each by the St. Mary’s Springs families after all Masses at all Holy Family Parish sites on Saturday, December 7 and Sunday, December 8, 2019. 

We will also have a movie and popcorn afternoon, the day before Christmas Break, where students can bring in a donation to watch the movie of their choice and enjoy popcorn. Everyone will be able to participate, whether they bring in a donation or not. 

All proceeds from the card sale and movie/popcorn afternoon will benefit a local child (Fond du Lac County) and his/her family, who is currently or has had medical concerns/conditions.

If you know of a child and their family that you feel is deserving of a nomination, please click here to fill out the form.

All nominations will be reviewed and a recipient will be chosen by a random draw.  Nominations will be accepted from Thursday, October 10 – Thursday, October 17, 2019.

Please join us Friday, October 11, 2019 from 8:45 to 9:45 a.m. at Holy Family Church (271 Fourth Street Way).

The family that prays together stays together! To that end, all SMSA parents, grandparents, friends and family are welcome and encouraged to join with the students, faculty and staff for Mass!

Members of the SMSA National Honor Society chapter will once again be offering peer tutoring to any SMSA student beginning Monday, October 14, 2019.

In addition, if grades 6 – 8 are looking for peer tutoring during their study hall times, students should have their teacher contact  Mr. Thompson so that an NHS student with the same study hall can be matched up with them. 

After school tutoring can also be made available through Mr. Thompson.
