To the Moon and Beyond: 6th Grade Hosts NASA Engineer!
It isn’t every day that students have an opportunity to talk to someone who has a hand in making history, but this past Monday was truly out of this world!
SMS was honored to virtually welcome Mr. Joseph Pavicic, a Launch Integration Operations Project Engineer for NASA.
Mr. Pavicic brought the excitement of space exploration right into Mrs. Goldman’s classroom. The students learned about Mr. Pavicic’s career and his contributions to the Artemis II mission.
On launch day, Mr. Pavicic served as the CPROP Lead Console Engineer and System Specialist for the Cryogenic Propulsion Team. Prior to his role with Artemis II, Mr. Pavicic served as the Launch System Specialist Manager for the Main Propulsion System and Engines team for Artemis I and as a member of the official Launch Team that successfully sent the Orion spacecraft to the moon.
Mr. Pavicic also shared a powerful motivational message with the students. He spoke about the importance of perseverance, hard work and the courage to dream big.
We are so thankful to Mr. Pavicic for taking the time to inspire our students and show them that the sky is definitely not the limit!

This Friday ... THANK YOU for supporting the SHS Junior Class!
On Saturday, April 25, three of our students represented SMS at the ILMEA Elementary Band & Chorus Festival.
Participation in the festival is nomination based. Mr. Pierce nominated Nick Pitstick and Warren Young and Ms. Thorsen nominated Elaina Leal. Students are nominated based on their dedication, skill and passion for music.
The students spent the entire morning and early afternoon rehearsing with peers from across the area. At the end of the day, the students participated in a concert with over 150 band students and 56 chorus students.
Beyond the music, it was a fantastic opportunity for SMS students to step out of their comfort zones and make new friends who share their love for music!
Congratulations Nick, Warren & Elaina! 🎵
