An update from a post earlier this year:
SSHS Senior Madison Brandt has moved from a National Merit Semifinalist to a National Merit Finalist. Only 16,000 students are selected as finalist from the 50,000 semifinalists from US high school students who took the PSAT, so this is a HUGE accomplishment for Madison.

Camp Good Grief is a FREE day camp- held April 6th- for kids/teens ages 5-18 who have experienced the death of a loved one. They believe that grief is a journey and that it changes from year to year so there is absolutely no time frame as to when the death/loss occurred, they just want to help support them and validate feelings as they progress along their grief journey. Also, Camp Good Grief gives each kid/teen the opportunity to spend the day honoring their loved one, which is always a good thing. Additional info: Campers are split up into groups based on age and gender and everything they do at Camp Good Grief has a therapeutic meaning to it that allows them to understand different aspects of grief and how to cope with loss. A parent/caregiver session is held towards the end of camp and they encourage participation so that the “grownups” know what they have been up to throughout the day.

Valentine's Day is over and done, but re-live the romance -from beginning to end- in the SSHS Theatre Department's upcoming production of "Love/Sick"!

"Love/Sick" takes a smart yet sarcastically comical look at the cycle of romance we all have fell victim too- you meet, you fall in love, you reshape your life for them, you suspect something, you break up, you hurt, you heal....then you chose to do it all over again. It doesn't make sense, but it's part of being human and choosing to explore the crazy emotion known as "love"--it will eventually make you "sick" in more ways than one.

This new play from the writer of the hit "Almost, Maine" will have you laughing while reflecting on your own relationships!

Performances are Thursday February 28-Saturday March 2 at 7pm EST in the SSHS Studio Theater on the Smiths Station High School campus. Tickets are $7 and are available through a student in the Acting Co class or at the door*.

This production is recommended for audiences age 13 and up.

*Please note, space in this theater is extremely limited so we suggest you pre-purchase your tickets to ensure you have a seat on the night you wish to attend.

More than twenty mattress sets will be on display including top brands like Simmons, BeautyRest, and Therapedic. Prices rand from $249 to $4999. Mattresses are priced 30%-50% off retail because the sale is at the school instead of a retail store. Delivery is available, as is free layaway and financing. Most importantly, every mattress set that is purchased helps support our band program.
