Welcome Back to School!
My name is Jennifer Luzader, I am the 2022-23 President of the Home School Association (HSA). My husband Jeremy and I have a son, Luke who is currently in 7th grade here at SMM. We are so blessed and feel honored to be a part of the SMM School and its marvelous community, it truly is like no other!
On behalf of the HSA, I’d like to extend a warm WELCOME to our new families who I hope we were able to meet at the New Family Picnic in August, if not-we hopefully will meet real soon. For those of you who are returning WELCOME BACK! I hope everyone’s summer was enjoyable and relaxing and that you made a ton of memories with family and friends. It is hard for me to believe summer is over and another school year is started, but here we are, prepared for a great year ahead!!
Our HSA is an active volunteer-based team that supports SMM in many ways. We fund many programs and activities that enhance the learning experience and we also plan various activities and events throughout the year so that we can come together as a community to enjoy time with our families and friends.
Our social chairs are owed a HUGE thank you for organizing a lot of extraordinary community activities this year! On Monday, October 10th we are hosting a Father/Daughter Movie Night event, which we hope you were able to read about in the Friday Newsletter. Then, on Friday, October 14th we will have our Fall Food Truck Festival right here in the SMM parking lot! The event will begin at 6 pm there will be a DJ, adult beverages, and many more added food trucks this year! It is certainly a BIG hit each year and we hope you can join us. We will close out October events with our Mother/Son Hayride at Ramsey Farm on Friday, October 21st. These and all of our upcoming events can be found in the Friday Newsletters as well as on our HSA link on the SMM website https://smmschoolde.com/hsa-calendar-of-events.
The HSA is always seeking volunteers, as parental involvement is a huge piece of our HSA’s success. There are always opportunities to get involved. You can help out one time or on a continuous basis, we appreciate all help! I encourage all of you to get involved and play a role in the educational and social experiences of our children. If you would like to help us for any event or in any way, please reach out to me directly, jennifer.luzader@gmail.com.
I am looking very forward to working with our principal, Mr. Patrick Tiernan, the teachers, and staff, as well as the dedicated volunteers who make every event memorable and positive for our children. Once again, welcome to or welcome back to SMM and best wishes for a successful school year!
Best wishes,
Jennifer Luzader
SMM HSA, President
