School day enrichment activities are scheduled throughout the year.
Pioneer Day
Pioneer Day is a much-anticipated event for fourth-grade students as they delve into Nebraska's rich history during their Social Studies curriculum. Engaged in their studies, these young learners immerse themselves in stories, discover and share historical artifacts, often taking tours at the Nebraska History Museum, and gain insights into Native American culture.
Pioneer Day holds a distinct charm. It transports students back to the early 1900s, offering a unique opportunity to experience life as settlers, unencumbered by modern technology. With homemade lunches in hand, students gather to engage in hands-on crafts, partake in captivating activities, and revel in the spirit of SMM Pioneer Day, a jubilant celebration marking the culmination of their Nebraska history studies.
Smart Gen Society
The St. Margaret Mary Home and School Association organized a thought-provoking presentation on Social Media awareness, facilitated by the Smart Gen Society. Students in grades 4 - 8 participated in the session and were equipped with valuable internet and social media tips. For the grade school presentation, Smart Gen Society navigated the complexities of the digital world, raising awareness about online safety, responsible social media usage, and the potential consequences of cyberbullying.
To further extend their offerings, an evening session was hosted exclusively for parents, creating an opportunity to delve deeper into the realm of social media. Thanks to the Home and School Association's sponsorship and the Smart Gen Society's expertise, both students and parents gained crucial insights into navigating the digital landscape with confidence and caution.
