Dear Families,
It was another busy week as we wrapped up the end of 1st quarter, promoted a group to SMA-PFC, and celebrated with our families during Hispanic Heritage Night. We truly appreciate our families and are grateful for your active participation in our school community. We have another round of promotions coming up this week and again look forward to joining together with you in acknowledging the achievements of our cadets in earning their Corporal and Sergeant ranks.
Final grade reports will be accessible through the
family portal
. Please continue to communicate with your child's teachers with any questions regarding academic progress.
Thanks for being a part of our school community!
MAJ Becky Morris, Assistant Head of School

Flag Football
It was a close playoff game on Wednesday with SSAS edging out the SMA Prep flag football team, 26-23. The Eagles played well on both sides of the ball but fell short as SSAS scored on the last play of the game. Coach Rosenbloom said he was very proud of this team especially the way they matched SSAS score for score right up until the end. "We just ran out of time" he said.
Congratulations Eagles on a fantastic season!

Interact Fundraising Event
Pennies for Patients
By Emily Brooks and Ivy Mchoul
Pennies for Patients
was created for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help children receive the appropriate treatment and care needed to handle the difficulties of having cancer. The Interact Club is hosting Pennies for Patients at SMA Prep with the help of Olive Garden, the LLS’s sponsor. Because of help that LLS received, 40.3 million dollars have gone towards treatment for children with Leukemia or Lymphoma. To help raise money, you can collect change in your change box at home and/or the one in your first period teacher’s classroom. Remember all donations will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the class that raises the most money will get an ice cream party! We are counting on you SMA prep. You can do it!
Thank you for your support! The fundraiser will last until October 29.
