Help us make a difference for our elderly neighbors! Sign up for a few hours of raking during the weekend of November 14–15. Gather your family, friends, classmates, teammates, scout troop, neighbors, etc. and volunteer to rake leaves for local seniors in our community.
Choose a day and time that works for your group!

Adults and students are welcome! Bring your rakes, tarps, and leaf blowers (if available), and help us make this our biggest community raking event yet!

Lend a hand. Make a difference. Let’s show our community what it means to be U-Knighted!
 

AP Business Students Hold "Pitch Day"

On Thursday, October 29th, Sandwich Middle High School AP Business with Personal Finance students hosted their very first Pitch Day in the SMHS Library!

In a high-energy, Shark Tank-style format, 28 young entrepreneurs presented five-minute pitches to launch the startup businesses they will build throughout the school year. Parents, staff, local community members and business professionals served as guest panels, offering valuable feedback, constructive questions, and real-world insights to help steer each student's vision forward.

Thank you to everyone who attended and supported our students as they took their first steps in entrepreneurship. 

Special thanks to AP Business & Personal Finance teacher, Ben Gavoni, for creating such an impactful and memorable learning experience for our students.

 

SMHS Peer Leaders at Forestdale

On Wednesday, November 4th, Sandwich Middle High School Peer Leaders visited the Forestdale School to support first-grade students during their specials.

More than 30 Peer Leaders took part in this program, with each group assigned to a first-grade classroom. They joined the students as they traveled to and participated in their specials, offering an extra helping hand, encouragement, and positive role modeling.

This partnership between Forestdale and Sandwich Middle High School is a great way to bring our youngest and oldest students together. It gives our first graders an opportunity to build relationships with older students while creating a stronger sense of community throughout the Sandwich Public Schools.

Menachap, California. An incomprehensible event: every person in the audience of a high school play falls unconscious – every person but one. Using interviews with witnesses, loved ones, first responders and the investigators pursuing the case, a theatre ensemble brings the story of the strange event to life, documentary-style. But as the strands weave together into an increasingly dangerous web, it becomes clear that this phenomenon might not be entirely in the past. Unnerving, exhilarating and wildly inventive, you’ve never walked into anything quite like TRAP.

Please be advised: TRAP features flashing lights, loud noises, and spooky situations. Parental discretion is advised for anyone under the age of 10.
