Ms. Southern Kansas stopped by and discussed Becoming Confident with our SMGS Family.


Select SMGS students performed with the North Central Elementary Honor Choir at the annual NCKMEA District Choir performance in Junction City, Kansas. A total of nine students were selected to represent St. Marys Grade School Bears. It was incredible! A special shout out to our music director, Josh Yoho, who served as Chair for the NCKMEA Elementary Honor Choir.




Way to go Gemma!! Mrs. Carr said that Gemma counted from one to one hundred, ALL BY HERSELF, which resulted in a Pawsitive Bear Call home today from Ms. Rueger and Ollie!


Mrs. Brown's kindergarten, catching their rhythm!!




Conference nights can be crazy for families, so the SMGS Booster Club hopes to make it a little easier by having our friends with 59 Food Wagon set up at SMGS on Monday, Feb 12th!
Meet with teachers, visit the book fair, grab a great meal, support a local business and support the SMGS Playground Fence Project all in one stop!
