Here is the Trojan Times Smore for the week of April 14, 2019.

SMG Runners braved the potential rain and storms Saturday morning to show their Trojan spirit and to get their run on! Other than a tad bit humid, it was a great day to run. The rain even stayed away until all SMG Runners crossed the finish line!

Ms. Meurer and Mrs. Paladini are sponsoring a cheer clinic for grades 1-4 on Saturday, April 27th, from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Students will be learning a dance and a cheer taught by the SMG cheerleaders. They will perform the routines during the spring pep rally! Included in the day are a t-shirt, a snack, and a great time!

A representative from Catholic Charities visited with SMG students to explain the Pounder Project. When students take part in a service project, they learn the importance of helping others. Pre-K and ­Kindergarten students will each collect rice and beans in the amount of their birth weight as part of the Catholic Charities Pounder Project. The bags of rice and beans will be wrapped in onesies and baby blankets and will be donated to help Catholic Charities clients. Remember to add rice and beans to your grocery shopping list. Information on project due dates will be included in grade-level newsletters.

Congratulations to all of our inaugural PSIA contestants! Students were acknowledged and celebrated for their accomplishments during last Monday's AM assembly. The Private School Interscholastic Association (PSIA) is an extracurricular academic competition program for elementary and middle school students. Participating in PSIA provides an exciting opportunity for private school students to engage in academic competition with their peers throughout the state of Texas.
