On Thursday night, October 24, 2024, St. Margaret of Scotland School presented a 60-minute discussion co-sponsored by the SMOS PTA and Gun Sense: For the Common Good, hosted as part of the SMOS Gun Sense team’s four-part series called “From Outrage To Action”. For Part IV, St. Margaret of Scotland joined with Be SMART For Kids and Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital to present a conversation on Kids, Guns, & Safety.
Thank you to everyone who came out last night for this Be SMART presentation AND who returned the pledges to school already! There was a great turnout at the event last night, and it was fantastic to see the SMOS community taking the time to focus on this important issue of gun safety and kids.
Parents can continue to send the signed pledges into school@stmargaretstl.org or just drop them off in the school office.
This is the first part of a 2-pronged partnership with Be SMART – education not only for parents and families, but for the students as well. The second piece of this is currently being developed, with the goal to bring this gun safety education into the classroom later this school year. More details to come on this part of the initiative.
