UPDATE
The AR program is now in full swing; students have
received their ZPD information and are taking short
comprehension quizzes on books that they have read. So
far, SMM students have read 1,082 books so far… about
27,556,484 words! Each month, more and more students are
scoring over 85% on their quizzes. The students have been
enjoying watching their flowers “grow” each time they get a
good score! Over the next few months, Language Arts
teachers will be assigning students goals to meet that will be
able to give SMM more information about the student’s
reading and comprehension abilities. Thank you for your
patience as we navigate this wonderful new teaching tool!

Holidays are over- Scrip is back. Start your New Year's
Resolution by saving money on things you already buy.
By converting just one store over to scrip- either Giant,
ShopRite, Acme or any other food store that you would
normally shop can put money back in your pocket by way
of rebates earned. Many cards are on sale in the Parish
Office with thousands of others on sale at
ShopWithScrip.com - Print your receipt and send it in
with your child on Monday and cards will be returned in
the Friday Folder.
Shopping for your spring wardrobe? Did you know Gap
Rebates are 14% with half of that going to SMM and the
other half goes in your pocket?
Going to the movies next weekend? Regal
Entertainment cards offer an 8% rebate.
Stopping at Red Robin for dinner before the
movie? Their gift cards offer a 9% rebate.
Saving money is easy when you use scrip. Email Pam
Nagle [email protected] or Beth Smith
[email protected] if you have any questions.
