Mrs. Scott’s 5th grade Social Studies class recently finished a unit of study that focused on the Early Civilizations.
Students learned how indigenous communities used totem poles to tell stories, honor heritage and preserve family traditions.
To connect this historical concept to their own lives, students designed totem poles featuring symbols, images and items that reflect their personal interests and family traditions.

⭐️ SMS STAFF SPOTLIGHT ⭐️

Matt Makeever & Melinda Vesely from Empowering Minds shared a presentation focused on building awareness, identifying support systems and knowing when and how to ask for help.
An important part of the presentation was helping students understand that asking for help is a sign of strength.
Students were also reminded that being a good friend does not mean they are responsible for solving another person's problems. Instead, if they are concerned about themselves or someone else, one of the most important things they can do is tell an adult and seek help.
It is our hope that the students left the presentation with a greater understanding of the importance of mental health, a stronger awareness of the people and resources available to support them, and the confidence to reach out when help is needed.
Above all, we hope that every student knows that they matter, they belong and there are adults who care about them and are ready to listen and help.
