Thank You to Tina Seymour Demoran
The 8th grade Cyber Foundations classes would like to say "Thank You!!" to Mrs. Tina Seymour Demoran, JD, RRT for spending the whole day with the students and techers explaining her level of education, her job as a lawyer, and the impact technology has had on the legal profession. Mrs. Demoran is a St. Martin High class of 1990 graduate. She encouraged everyone to treat everyone with kindness, work hard, and find a career that they will love. Mrs. Demoran stressed to students that college is not for everyone and that many well-paying careers can be attained by completing career and technical programs. Thank you, Mrs. Demoran, for supporting your community!
Thank You to Jennifer Cartwright
In October, the 8th grade classes had a guest speaker come talk to all the technology classes. Mrs. Jennifer Cartwright is the Database Marketing Manager at the Hard Rock Casino Biloxi. She discussed the level of education she has and the level of education and skills needed to obtain a job like hers. Database marketing uses computer programs including Microsoft programs, web based coding, and programs built/designed in house specifically for the Hard Rock to aide in day-to-day tasks . Mrs. Cartwright stressed good digital citizenship to the students as more colleges and employers look to social media as a part of their acceptance and hiring processes. She also encouraged the students to be honest when filling out applications and being interviewed. From St. Martin Middle School Cyber Foundations Teachers and Students "Thank You Mrs. Cartwright!".

SMMS keeps items on hand for students in need of personal hygiene/grooming items and food. The pantry and hygiene cabinets were established by donations from Donors Choose and has been maintained by some SMMS employees. There is a feminine item cabinet in each girls' restroom in case of emergencies. We appreciate any donations of unscented pads, antiperspirant/deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, shampoo, unscented baby wipes, and individual serving size non-perishable food items that don't need to be cooked. We are also collecting reusable bags (ipsy, drawstring, etc.) in which students can discretely take items that they need. State law prohibits using classroom funds to purchase any of these items. We are grateful for any help!
Thank You to Jennifer Cartwright
