The Freshmen Class of 2029 is selling discount cards as a fundraiser again. We have a limited number of cards, so they will be distributed on a first- come, first-served basis as soon as the freshmen student submits their order and the money is exchanged with Mrs. Hammett. An Omella Link will be available for online orders beginning in January ONLY if we still have discount cards left to sell. The sale starts now and ends in mid-February or until the cards are sold out, whichever comes first. The cost of each card is $15 (cash or check made payable to SHS), and can be used from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026.
We would like to say THANK YOU to all of the local vendors who offered a discount at their establishments. Please contact Mrs. Hammett with any questions, at hammetta@somonauk.net.
