In any effort to maintain a sense of normalcy and school community, our SMCES administrators, faculty, and staff have hosted Donut Drive-thru Tuesdays! During what would normally be our drop-off time, families were invited to drive thru the carpool lane, greet their pastor, president, principal and faculty members, pick up a delicious donut and be home in time to start their first class.
