SADD/SCYAC are going to be busy in May! Do you have talent? Students and staff need to show their talents! All proceeds will be donated to the school's Sunshine Team! Please come out and support our talented students and maybe some staff.
Last drop. Difficult because we can only do 10 pics on post, so #JagNation enjoy all the pics. This here is a great group! They want you to join us on May 7th and they are working hard to get the word out!
A few more pics from todays commercial shoot. Thank you to the Somerset Local Management Board and Vernon Spriggs for making this happen. And a huge shout out to the Somerset County Health Department for ALWAYS supporting what SADD does. We appreciate you all. And AJ from 47abc for making things happen. The crew was decked out in their best zombie and neon attire!
Zombies versus the Neons! When the director/producer show up from 47abc, you know a commercial is in the making. The SCYAC and SADD members met on the track for a little filming. They are advertising the event at our school on May 7th, on the track, from 5:30 pm until 8:00 pm. Are you coming out to support the Zombies in "Ghosting BIG Tobacco" because we all know that tobacco/nicotine kills, whether you vape or smoke it is NOT good for your lungs and there can be many negative health complications. OR, are you joining the Neons, dressed as bright as you can. Neons represent Mental Health Awareness Month through wearing bright/bold colors to represent "Coming Out of the Darkness". Depression is real and you do not have to suffer alone!
Watch for their commercial beginning next week on channel 47abc during prime time. And, then come out on Wednesday, May 7th for lots of fun, food, giveaways, and education. Play a little capture the flag. We want you to support the cause! Everything is FREE!!!
Are you a Zombie or a Neon? The choice is yours!
ATTENTION PARENTS! You do not want to miss this opportunity tomorrow.

#JagNation has something to BRAG about!!! Our art students, with their teacher's guidance and knowledge, have really been producing some amazing art. In the group photo (left to right) are art teacher Ms. Anna Prado, Pamela, Mikayla, Ty'nija, Annabelle, and art teacher Mr. Scott Smith; featuring some beautiful work done by the students. The group entered their art in the Wicomico Women's Club Youth Art Contest. They were judged on March 4, 2025 at the Poplar Hill Mansion in Salisbury by artist Kay Hickson.
Pamela placed in the Class 1: Middle School-Photography/Digital. She gained the 1st Prize for her entry of Digital Photography titled "Kurt Cobain". She is an 8th grader and takes photography from her teacher Ms. Prado. Pamela qualifies for her photo to travel to the next level in the Maryland State Competition in Baltimore. Wishing her so much success as her photo moves along in the competition.
Second Prize goes to Ty'nijah. She is an 11th grader, and she studies under her teacher Mr. Smith. Her painting submitted was titled "Purple Sky" and was not yet returned in time for the photo. Pictured Ty'Nijah is holding a charcoal/painting that she did, and the title is "Garden Angel". It was done as a part of the Opioid Awareness Competition.
Honorable mention goes to Lauren (not pictured) for her painting called "Sunny". Lauren is a 10th grader at our school. Her art teacher is Mr. Smith.
Class 2: High School-Photography/Digital 1st Place goes to Annabelle. Annabelle is a 12th grade student at our school and her teacher is Mr. Smith. Her photograph is titled "Wintry Twilight". Winter does make for beautiful photography, as you can see in her photograph.
Another Honorable Mention goes to Mikayla for her photograph, "Soprano Bombus". Mikayla is a 12th grader at our school and studies under her art teacher, Mr. Smith. The colors are amazing!
If you see the students, PLEASE tell them how proud you are of their work. And, cross your fingers that Pamela receives some great news on her work that was forwarded to the Maryland State Competition. What an honor!
Congrats to all of the Somerset County Public School students that placed in this competition. Our county is full of wonderful artist!
