March- Women's History Month
Women’s History Month honors the successes and sacrifices of U.S. women. It dates to March 8, 1857, when hundreds of women from New York City garment and textile factories rallied to protest harsh working conditions. In 1909, New York City became the site of the nation’s first Women’s Day celebration, a year after 15,000 women there marched to demand shorter working hours, better pay, an end to child labor and the right to vote. More than seven decades later, in 1981, Congress set aside the second week of March as Women’s History Week. Six years later, Congress expanded the week to a month. (

Classified Staff Appreciation Week
Please join me in recognizing and celebrating Classified Staff Appreciation Week! Thank you to all of our classified educators who do so much every single day of the school year. SBMS classified staff feed students, keep the building comfortable and operational, support and process all of the bureaucratic steps that a school requires, provide medical support, make learning accessible, and just flat out make the school run.
Every day I appreciate all of our classified staff and I'm always happy when we have a specific week to pause and give more attention to the work that Spartan Classified Staff do every single day to support learning at SBMS.
Lockdown Drill This Week
This week we will be holding a lockdown drill. Lockdown is one of the emergency procedures that we use at SBMS. A lockdown is used when there is a danger inside of the building. Students and staff are told, "Lockdown- Locks, Lights, Out of Sight."
This drill will be announced as a drill when it begins. To see a video explanation of our emergency procedures,
