SMMAS Weekly News: September 14-18, 2026

Greetings Spartan Families!

We had such a fun day celebrating 75 years of SMMAS yesterday! It was 50s Dress-Up Day, and we hosted several rounds of Musical Chairs, alongside a Hula Hoop Competition. In the afternoon, the Enriquez Family brought by their Classic 1955 car, which provided the perfect backdrop for class photos, a blessing by Father Michael, and birthday cupcakes for all! There were so many people that made this day so special for us. Mrs. Duarte made a special sign for the day that included some vintage records; Mrs. Garcia created a fun banner; the Rico family brought the balloons; and together they created a great display. A special thanks to the Student Council, Mrs. Aragon, and Mrs. Jarvie for organizing this special celebration.

Here are some more photos of our fun day:
