D ear SBMS Families,

As we begin the process of healing, we do so in the only way we know how: holding each others' hands, walking together, and taking each day one at a time. 

We will continue working with professional counselors and SBMS staff to provide a variety of ways to support each other while also providing normalcy for our students with the routines they know on campus. As we are all still processing the devastation and loss, we are also able to enjoy having classes and electives back in full swing. We will continue to connect as a community by scheduling events and time to circle up in the coming weeks. 

Kim and Lauren continue to recover. We welcomed Lauren back to school this week. Sadly, Jack is still missing and we are holding out hope for his return. As the family continues to process and grieve, we ask for the privacy and space they need during these difficult days ahead.

We are working with our families who have been displaced and gathering a list of available resources. If your family has been impacted, please see the list of SBMS Cares Resources compiled by our school to help you during this most difficult time. 

Thank you for your tremendous understanding last week and in the weeks to come as we make adjustments to our school calendar in response to these events. See details below in the "Updated Calendar" section.

We greatly appreciate the outpouring of concern and support within our community. Thank you parents for your compassion; thank you students for your energy and positivity; and thank you teachers and staff for your tireless dedication to our school and community. 

With love and gratitude, 

Brian & the SBMS Faculty
