Flu Vaccine Clinic
Our school wide Flu Vaccine Clinic will be held Tuesday, October 17. Please remind your children that day if you have signed them up to get their vaccine. Students who have returned a signed consent form will be called to the MPR to receive their vaccine from the FDL Health Dept.
If you have not signed your child up for the school vaccine clinic but are still interested in having them receive it, please see the following flyer for more info! If you have any questions, please contact Allisen Willis, RN at 920-322-8017 or awillis@smsacademy.org.
Catholic Schools Walk
St. Mary’s Springs Academy is excited to be participating again this year in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee’s Catholic Schools Walk!
Next week (October 16th-20th), students will be participating in the Catholic Schools Walk during their physical education classes. Students will walk, run, or jog on the track and combine mileage K-8 to make the mileage and distance to St. Augustine, Florida – National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche. All classes will be outside as long as it is not raining, so please ensure your child(ren) is dressed appropriately for the weather. Depending on the temperature, they may bring sweatpants and sweatshirts to change into for PE class—a coat, hat, or gloves. We look forward to moving our bodies, enjoying the fall weather and the camaraderie between grade levels.
As in the past several years, we also have a goal to raise $5,000 on, or before, Saturday, October 21st to receive a matching gift of $5,000 being provided by generous Catholic Schools walk sponsors. Here is how you can show your support today and help us reach our goal:
– Make a donation by clicking here to help us reach our $5,000 Catholic Schools Walk goal.
– Text SCHOOLSWALK75 to 71777 (Msg & data rates may apply) to make a donation today to help us reach our goal.
Your support is greatly appreciated, and the impact of your gift will make twice the difference for students at SMSA!
Winter Sport Athletic Forms
As fall sports start to wind down, the SMSA Athletic Department is beginning preparations for winter sports. If you have an athlete interested in participating on a winter sports team, the athletic paperwork needs to be completed prior to the season start. If your athlete has competed in a fall sport, they do not need to complete the paperwork again. The forms are included in the link below.
Please contact Kelly Mueller at kmueller@smsacademy.org with any questions. Good luck to our fall sports teams as they finish their seasons. Go Ledgers!

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.
Has your child outgrown their uniform pieces?
All uniform and spirit wear pieces that your child outgrows, throughout the school year, can be dropped off at the North or South Hall Offices during regular school hours.
If you have any questions, please contact Shannon LaLuzerne at slaluzerne@smsacademy.org or 920-322-8012.
