Summer News & Notes

 

Here are a few bits of SMS summer news, some reminders about upcoming events and an invitation to follow our renovation project on our new SMS Renovation Blog.

We are excited to announce that Ms. Jennifer Molloy will be joining our faculty as the new second grade teacher.  She graduated from Central Connecticut State University with teacher certification for grades K-6.  She has worked in the Newington Public Schools with children at all grade levels.  She has experience working in a school with a 1:1 iPad initiative and interactive boards.  This experience will allow her to integrate technology seamlessly into the curriculum.   We are confident that the children entering second grade will have a productive, engaging and memorable year.  Ms. Molloy will be here working in her classroom during the month of August.  Second grade families will meet her at the meet and greet scheduled on August 27th at 10:30AM.

If you have questions, please call or email Mrs. Gannatti.   Ms. Molloy's school email address is jmolloy@stmarysimsbury.eduk12.net. The second grade blog and supply list will be available soon.
