BAND PROGRAM
| Would your child be interested in learning how to play an instrument? Mr. Hogan would like to pursue an establishment of a band program if there are enough interested students between the grades of 3-8. Email Mr. Hogan if you think your child would be interested. You can contact Mr. Hogan at principal@smrschool.org.

SUPPORT SMS ATHLETIC PROGRAMS
| Mr. Hogan is interested in establishing an Athletic Committee for the school. The purpose of the committee is to coordinate and plan all athletic activities, schedules and fundraisers. The committee will also work to develop and plan new sports programs for the students. The committee would meet once a month for an hour during the school year. This committee would consist of an Athletic Director (Mrs. Wescott), an Assistant Athletic Director, Treasurer, and Secretary along with parent representatives. All coaches would be considered a part of this committee. If you would be interested in holding the position of Assistant Athletic Director, Treasurer, Secretary or parent representative, please contact Mr. Hogan at principal@smrschool.org.
