Save the Date!
Dog Wheelchairs are expensive, and many shelter animals do not have access to them. 6th Grade STEM wanted to correct this problem by designing and donating their own hand-made dog-wheelchairs - at a low cost! After reaching out to the Tails Humane Society of DeKalb, the 6th Grade STEM class was invited to donate their products and spend some time with the animals! They had an amazing time and their efforts will never be forgotten.
Nothing like a little last minute shopping! Students in Mrs. Tjelle’s math class created their own store selling a product of their choice. Students have been working on percentages and applied them to holiday sales in their stores.
Junior Council assembled almost 700 candy cane grams today! They will be delivered tomorrow spreading holiday cheer throughout SMS! All funds raised went to purchase items from the District #432 Giving Trees to support our very own community during this season of giving!
6th grade students are enjoying the day at the Chicago Wolves game.
Congratulations to our 8th grade Bobcats! They took 3rd in the Al Stegman Holiday Classic in Serena!
A big thank you to Mr. Snider for providing breakfast for the entire SMS staff this morning! We even had a surprise visit from Santa! Also, thank you to the Country Kitchen for taking great care of a room full of us!
Candy cane gram sales are underway. You may purchase candy cane grams at lunch for 25 cents/gram. All grams will be delivered during the lunch hours on Friday, December 20th. When making purchases, don't forget friends, teachers, and staff members...they will all love to receive a candy cane gram from you. To honor the idea of giving is more important than receiving, purchase a gram as a random act of kindness for someone outside your circle of friends this holiday season!
Other than making someone's day, the coolest thing about our candy cane gram sales is that all profits raised will be used to purchase items from the giving trees for Somonauk families in need!
STEM Club hour of code ends at 4:30 today!
Jr. Council members ‘popped in’ to show how thankful they are for all the teachers and staff at SMS today!

Mr. Roberts was able to snag MAROON 5 for a quick picture on their way to class!
How many times have you asked ‘would you like to buy a Rosati’s gift card and support Somonauk Middle School?’ A 5th grade student stopped in the office yesterday and said he is up to 16 certificates sold and he still has 2 more days to go! Will he be a top 4 seller? Will YOU? How does free pizza for a YEAR sound? Keep on selling, SMS! Orders are due Friday morning!
The Book Fair is here! Shop in the SMS Library today through Thursday or online here:
https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bookfairs/cptoolkit/homepage.do?method=homepage&url=somonaukmiddleschool1
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Zaeske in the Library or by email at zaesked@somonauk.net
For our fifth consecutive year, we are excited to announce that we will again be participating in the Rosati's fundraiser. This is a quick and easy fundraiser that will help our school raise money for technology and teaching tools as well as for student recognition incentives and events.
The fundraiser is simple. Today, your student will bring home an envelope that outlines the fundraiser and it will also have a list attached to include names of people who purchase a Rosati's gift certificate. Rosati's will give our school $5 for every $20 gift certificate that we sell. Checks should be made out to Somonauk Middle School.
On Friday, November 8, after one week of selling, students are to bring back their envelopes with money for gift certificates. We will remove the money from the envelopes and stuff them with gift certificates and send them home with your student that same day.
Any student who sells 5 gift certificates will get a free kids pizza delivered from Rosati's to SMS lunch on November 15.
The top 4 sellers in the school will receive a coupon for one free pizza a month for a year.
Here are some of our 'Hall of Fame' students over the last two years:
Julian Diaz has sold 62 gift certificates (31 each year) over the last two years!
Gavin Lorentzen sold 31 gift certificates over the last two years!
Olivia Taylor sold 43 gift certificates over the last two years!
Sienna Deacon sold 29 gift certificates over the last two years!
Collectively, these four students have sold $3,300 worth of gift certificates and raised $825 for our school over the last two years! Julian told me today he WILL be selling 38 in order to reach the hundred mark...how awesome is that?!?!
Thank you to everyone for participating and helping our school! Imagine if every student could sell 5 gift certificates and get a free pizza delivered on November 15! I would love to call in that order for 230 kids pizzas to be delivered at lunch!
In honor of National Principals Month, this final day of October 2019, we presented Mr. Snider with a critical piece of DATA.
In the cafeteria, you’ll find the favorite single-digit numbers of all SMS students and staff combined into one HUGE number to show the vast value of our appreciation!
SMS is still accepting 'paper' boxtops until they expire; then after that they will need to be scanned. Please bring your boxtops to Mrs. Zaeske by October 31st!

Student/Parent/Teacher conferences will be held on Thursday, October 10 between the hours of 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. This is a valuable opportunity to get to know your child's teachers and be engaged in your child's learning. Student/Parent/Teacher conferences also send a strong message to your child that you are involved his/her education.
To schedule a conference on October 10, you can call Ms. Morris in the office at 498-1866x1406. We are here that day from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Conferences are 15 minutes in length and although you can schedule with an individual teacher, most parents schedule a conference with the entire team of teachers.
Additionally, if that day does not work for you, all you need to do is make a phone call and request an alternative date and time to meet with teachers. Call anytime!
Look who stopped by to visit! Mrs. Langhoff brought Ella in for a meet and greet.
Students in Mr. Roberts' Class had a choice for their 5 Themes of Social Studies Enrichment Project. One of the options that students chose to investigate and create was Geography. Students within the pictures made topography maps of different regions throughout the World. Many students created the topography maps with salt dough or clay and then painted them to emphasize elevation. Students identified parts of a map and wrote an explanation in regards to the region, for the enrichment project.
