The inaugural year for Guardian Stride has taken many turns due to Covid. The most recent rescheduled Stride date for Tuesday, November 24 has now changed to Guardian Stride@Home. We are asking students to take a photo of themselves outside taking a walk enjoying the fresh air and send the photo to socialmedia@smacatholic.org to be shared on smacatholic social media for others in the SMA community to see!
We are extremely proud of the effort our students put into the Stride this year and the amazing donations we received. Our final total was over $47,000 which will go to help offset the cost of educating each student. The SMA students who received the most donations were: Chris South, Ella Melton and Gabrielle Loesch. THANK YOU to all those who donated!
