School Governance

The SMM Parent’s Club enhances the well-being of students, parents, and faculty by fostering stronger connections between home, school, and the community. Our goal is to inspire unity and engagement through a range of fundraising and volunteer service opportunities. Open to all, we rely on parent volunteers to assist with events and committees.
