Students at SMS really enjoyed the “Kick off to Testing” bash that the Youth Service Center sponsored. Students and teachers alike enjoyed this event. Students were treated to pizza and soft drinks and snacks when they registered. After getting their bellies full, students could participate in several activities. They could sing Karaoke, play corn hole, Rock Band, Madden, scavenger hunt or play Deal or No Deal. This two hour fun filled activity and would like to thank Teresa Combs, Karen Griffith, Sabrina Turner, Bonnie Lively, and Lauren Bates for this great “Kick off to Testing” activity.
