Tonight is our monthly Panther Family Night! Campus-wide, teachers do not assign homework and coaches end practice by 5:00p.m. to allow our students to spend the evening with their families! Students in Junior High FACS Class made homemade cookies to take home and enjoy with their parents and siblings. They had a few extras so they selected a staff member from SME and SMC to take some home to enjoy! Mrs. Jill & Fr. Jon were the lucky winners to take cookies home this evening!
