At St. Margaret of Scotland, we celebrate the Day of the Dead in November – but according to one school Mom, her little guy is stoked for next week and what he calls the “Zombie Museum” day, which sounds equal parts terrifying and hilarious. What really goes on here? Let’s just say it involves history, costumes, and a bit more life than your average zombie crawl… and yes, Maggie has some long-standing grievances about being snubbed. 🧟♀️😏
St. Margaret’s was presented with the opportunity of bringing Junior Achievement’s popular “JA in a Day” program to our classrooms but your helps is needed to pull this off!
It’s been a little while since the PTA has shared an update, so we wanted to check in with what we’ve been up to — and what’s on the horizon!

King Malcolm is back, filling in while Maggie rubs elbows with a bunch of old spirits (not the bar kind). The newsletter is slim pickins’ this week, so instead of wasting words, he’s telling you: go enjoy life—or better yet, volunteer at the Fish Fry. Seriously, he says you need to show up, serve some fish, and pretend you’re a respectable adult. No excuses. Apparently, this is not a suggestion.
As the SMOS DEI Committee continues to honor Black History Month for its centennial celebration, the students were entertained and enthralled on Thursday, February 26th by Teaching Artist, Kunama Mtendaji.
