School Web Site to Close

At the close of the 2008-2009 school year, the Searsport District Middle School web site will no longer be accessible. Yahoo has decided to do away with all of its free web sites, collectively known as Geocities. The SDMS web site began in 1998 when it was created by Mr. Merrill, and hosted by Geocities, which, at the time, was independent of Yahoo. Since then, the SDMS site has expanded tremendously and even prompted several teachers to begin their own web sites in order to keep students and parents updated on assignments. All of those will close soon. Yahoo will not give a definite date when Geocities will cease to exist, only saying it will happen "later this year."

Box Tops

Box tops are the little 10 cent coupon on certain products. All you have to do is cut them off and send them in with your child. The school collects money for the box tops, which goes toward extra classroom supplies and playground equipment.

Ink Cartridges

We are collecting ink cartridges. Any used ink cartridges from you computer could have value. All you have to do is throw them in a baggy and send them to school with your child, instead of throwing them in the trash (the catrridges, not your children). All the money will go toward extra supplies for the classroom and playground equipment, plus you will be recycling the catridges!
