The SMS staff was again victorious yesterday during the 16th annual Banana Race! The banana races are a series of competitive events where students earn points for their grade level. Each grade level competes against the others, and a team of staff members. We are so thankful to McDonalds, the Sullivan Bakery and Casey’s for generously donating food, and drinks, to our eating competitions. They are always a big hit!
Don't forget to turn in your basketball camp forms! High school and 7th-8th grade camp is May 31st - June 3rd. 1st - 6th grade camp is June 6th - 9th. You can turn in the forms to the SES, SMS, or the SHS office. Email Coach Black with any questions: blackc@sullivan.k12.il.us."
Students in 7th grade social studies at SMS played the original Oregon Trail Game last week! Students were able to simulate the lives, struggles, and accomplishments of 19th century settlers and their families. Though some “perished” due to various accidents and diseases, a combined total of 17 students made it all the way from Independence, Missouri to the Oregon Country! Here are some of our high-scorers…

Students in Mr. Webb’s 8th grade social studies classes hosted a 1920s speakeasy party on Friday! It was the cat’s pajamas, the bee’s knees, and everything in between! Students were able to dress up, enjoy smooth jazz, board games, snacks, and punch… if they knew the password, of course!
Students in Mr. Webb’s 8th grade social studies classes participated in a 1920s Stock Market Simulation today! Students had the opportunity to “invest” in five different “companies” over an eight-round session. Unfortunately, the Great Crash of 1929 sent most of them home empty handed. It was the perfect segue into tomorrow’s lesson on the Great Depression!
Extra copies of the SMS Yearbook are now available! Yearbooks are $25 and can be purchased from Mrs. Wright or in the office from Mrs. Rose. Checks should be made out to SMS.
