SEPTEMBER Edition
2021-2022 HOMECOMING COURT
HOMECOMING ROYALTY
As basketball season approaches, that means Homecoming will be here soon! November 4th the 7th and 8th grade boys basketball teams will play Holcomb! Each grade votes for two maids to represent their class during the coronation that evening. The 8th grade class is the only grade to have three representatives. This is because the entire school votes for queen from those three 8th grade maids. Congratulations to the 2021 SHMS Homecoming royalty!

6th Grade: Natalie Branum & Praizley Rhodes

Watch for symptoms
People with COVID-19 have had a wide range of symptoms reported – ranging from mild symptoms to severe illness. Symptoms may appear 2-14 days after exposure to the virus. People with these symptoms may have COVID-19:

Help Stop the Spread
Help prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, like COVID-19, by avoiding close contact with people who are sick; covering cough and sneeze; avoiding touching eyes, nose and mouth; and washing your hands with soap and water. If you are sick, you can prevent spreading sickness by staying home and taking care of yourself.
