Donate Used Sports Equipment
April 19th-April 23rd, a collection bin will be in the commons to collect new to slightly used sporting goods. Students can donate soccer cleats, shin guards, basketball shoes, volleyball knee pads, etc. and they will be collected and given to partner schools such as Cristo Rey. Not only will this be a great way to do spring cleaning and get rid of old sports equipment, but it will be a way to pass on resources and benefit other student athletes in our community. Thank you to Sam Tyler for planning and organizing this effort.
A Night Under the Stars - Hope Does Not Disappoint
Night Under the Stars will be moved indoors on Friday. All students are invited to join. Families must RSVP HERE. Join us for a free Mikey Needleman concert starting at 6:45 and an evening of adoration and confession. Bring a lawn chair and mask up! Night ends at 9:30.

Mowers Needed!
In conjunction with Knights of Columbus, SMA is seeking volunteer parents to help maintain our 87-acre campus. For the past three years, the Knights have mowed, trimmed, weeded and worked diligently to keep up the appearance of our grounds. They have done all of this as volunteers, providing a significant cost savings to SMA over the years.

We are now asking SMA parents to help the cause by giving a few hours each month to help maintain our beautiful campus. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Joe Murphy at joe.murphy@smacatholic.org or Mick Mithelavage at mixzx@att.net. Thank you!
