  • April - Auction: A fundraising event that brings the community together for a night of fun and support.

Parent Involvement


In addition to school-organized events, SAMS encourages parent involvement through various committees and social events. These opportunities allow parents to:


Support the school:  By volunteering their time and expertise in areas such as fundraising, special events, and campus beautification.

SAMS invites all families to actively participate in the vibrant and inclusive community it has to offer. By attending events, volunteering, and staying connected, parents can enrich their child's educational experience and foster a lifelong love of learning.
