There are many ways to help out at SMA. Some opportunities continue throughout the school
year, such as counting Campbell's Soup labels or being a cafeteria helper; some are sporadic,
such as the beautification committee, which plants flowers and rakes leaves; and some are
one-time events, such as the uniform swap or the spaghetti supper. Can't come to school during
the day? No problem -- package up Box Tops or provide baked goods for an event, or choose
many other ways to help from home. For further information on ways to volunteer, contact the
coordinator listed. Everyone is welcome to help -- moms,dads, grandparents, aunts, uncles --
and it's a great way to meet other SMA families. PLEASE NOTE: For questions, please contact
Jennifer Cove at shoreline@maine.rr.com or Leslie Barbini at leslie@theweddingbelle.net
Thank you!
