The "Jingle Ball" dance at SIMS will take place tomorrow (Fri. Nov. 10th) immediately after school in the gym from 3:30pm to 5:40pm for those students who have already purchased tickets. Ticket sales are complete at this time and will no longer be sold. Please make sure your attending students' ride is ready to pick them up at the end of the dance. Students not picked up on time may lose the privilege of attending future afterschool events. 6th grade attendees (and any of their siblings in 7th/8th grade) will be picked up on the car-rider side of the school. 7th and 8th grade attendees (with no 6th grade siblings) will be picked up in the bus parking lot.
