Due to inclement weather, St. Marys Middle School will reschedule and host the Annual Title I meeting at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, October 20, 2026.
See the attached for more information.

Bobcat families, Due to the weather that will extend into tomorrow and tomorrow evening, we are rescheduling the sixth grade pack night to October 20. We really are excited about you coming out and experiencing what your sixth grader experiences and equipping you with some information. However, being rained on in the parking lot and being soaking wet in the building is not ideal for you or your student. We will see 6th Grade parents on October 20th.

Reminder: Join us tonight for SMMS Spirit Night at Texas Roadhouse between 3:00 PM and 9:00 PM. A portion of all sales will directly benefit our school.

Ms. Lauren Jones' class celebrated finishing their first 5-paragraph argumentative essay of the year by solving The Case of the Missing Class Donut Fund (pretend crime)!

Her students stepped into the roles of witnesses and detectives to practice writing in active and passive voice through hands-on report drafting. They then applied their argumentative skills by gathering evidence at stations and formulating a claim to identify the culprit.

This week Bird Clubs students completed a text-to-text comparison of field guide styles. Students evaluated factors like portability, content, and media for hand painted Audubon-style field guides, modern photo reference field guides, and digital field guides. Although many assessed the photographic field guides as rating the highest in utility, they preferred the artistry of the hand painted guides for learning and enjoyment.

Congratulations to our SMMS Cheer Team for their success at the 2026 Coastal Cheerleading Competition in Richmond Hill this weekend. Their hard work and determination have been something to admire. 🐾 Go Bobcats! 📣

Bobcat Families, At this time all walkers and bike riders will be held in the cafeteria until the weather improves. We will monitor the weather closely and let you know if any changes.

The SMMS Girl’s Cross Country Team won 2nd place in the Championship Race this week in Brunswick. Deliah Dickerson placed 5th overall with a personal record time of 23:42 and Ulyssa Mason placed 8th with a time of 24:03. Niko Torres earned a silver medal for 2nd place overall in the Boy’s Championship Race with a season PR time of 19:27. We are so proud of all of our Bobcat runners for a great season!

During September Attendance Awareness Month, Communities In Schools hosted a fun raffle in the Media Center, where students used estimation, reasoning, problem-solving, and observation skills to guess how many items were in a jar (1,591 pieces).
Congratulations to our winners:
• Lincoln Thomas— 8th Grade
• Graysyn Andrews— 7th Grade
• Titan Davis— 6th Grade
Every day at school is an opportunity to learn, grow, and put new skills into practice!
