Parents, We have just received some very exciting news. School Food and Nutrition Services (SFNS) is happy to announce that USDA has approved SFNS to serve free lunches to all students effective Tuesday, September 8. The USDA is allowing free meals to all children even if they do not qualify for free and reduced-price meals. The program will expire on Thursday, December 31, or until funds are depleted. School Food and Nutrition Services ensures you that every child will continue to have access to safe, nutritious school meals. This announcement means that every child at SMM, grades PK3 - 7th grade, is able to receive a free lunch, even if your child has never purchased a lunch from the cafeteria prior to this announcement. There is nothing required of you to receive this service. If you would like for your child to receive the free lunch, all you need to do is have your child tell their teacher of their lunch choice in the morning, sandwich or hot lunch choice. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the free lunch. The free lunch program will begin next Tuesday, September 8th. I hope that many of you take advantage of this free lunch opportunity.

Dear Parents, It has recently come to our attention that Keds brand shoes has discontinued the black and white saddle oxford shoes. Per the SMM uniform policy, girls should wear black and white saddle oxford style shoes. As the Keds brand has been the choice of shoe for many of our younger girls, we realize that accommodations for uniform requirements need to be made. For the 2019-2020 school year the following shoes will be acceptable for girls: black and white traditional saddle oxfords and Keds brand navy and white saddle oxfords. Several local uniform stores have black and white and navy and white saddle oxford options in stock. Schumacher's uniforms carries both black and navy saddle oxfords. Poinsetti's shoe store carries the navy and white Keds, with a limited supply of the Keds black and white left in stock. They also carry the traditional black and white saddle oxford shoe. Schiro's uniforms carries both black and navy saddle oxford shoe options. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact the office if you have any questions regarding the girls’ school shoes for this coming year. Thank you and God Bless! "All For Jesus"
