Quarter Two Begins

Every time there is a new quarter in the school year, students get a bit of a fresh start, however keeping our grades up can be difficult. Many students begin to feel the pressures of maintaining their goals and the overall workload ramps up, leaving us feeling a little overwhelmed at times. Fortunately, each year at SMA, students get better and better at managing their time and taking care of themselves. Even so, continuing to work hard and staay positive can be difficult. Fortunately, this year's ASB officers (our student government) created an instagram account followed by many students called SMA positivity. This instagram is full of advice and meaningful words of encouragement that make it easier to get through a rough week. I myself have been inspired by this instagram and have found it to be incredibly helpful, and reflective of the supportive and kind environment SMA creates for our students.
