Each year SCMS holds one major fundraiser at the start of the year...a magazine sale.  No one dislikes fundraisers more than I do.  I've had the pleasure of two son's going through hockey, one travel hockey, and have sold/promoted everything from candy to raffles, from popcorn to golf outings.  If you could possible make money from it, the Alley family has had experience with it.  Unfortunately, as I'm sure everyone understands, we are currently going through some very difficult times economically and this fundraiser is essential to us being able to offer many of the "extras" for our SCMS students.  Listed below are some of the items that our magazine sale last year was able to provide.  It is an optional activity that we hope each student will participate in.  If you have any questions at all please don't hesitate to contact us.
