Photos!We love to see the photos

and video that our student’s families capture

during testing. Please submit your photos to Mr.

Hurst or Mr. Agcaoili to share them with SMA’s

staff.

With your permission, they

might even end up in our Newsletter or on Facebook!

Rate us on Yelp!

It can be difficult to find the right studio to join, and not everyone has a friend who can help them decide which studio is best for their needs.

Rate us on Yelp and tell everyone what you think about SMA! You might just help someone find their new passion.

What did one snowman say to the other snowman?

Santa’s Milk & CookiesWhy do we leave out cookies and milk for Santa? They are delicious, but that isn’t the only reason...

Santa has a lot of work to do on Christmas. Cookies are packed with sugars and carbs, which both give the body bursts of quick energy. And milk is full of protein which helps keep you full.

So milk and cookies are a great meal for someone with millions of presents to deliver! But, unless you are magic, don’t try eating as many cookies as Santa in one night! You won’t feel so good.

-Mr. Hurst

P.S. - Don’t forget carrots for his reindeer!
