SMS Jag E-News
Week 25: February 14-February 18, 2022
We had a busy week as we wrapped up Progress Report 6, embarked on our 7th Grade field trip to the Reese Career & Technical Education Center, and had a close game of basketball between our students and staff on Friday. Our tennis and track teams also kicked off their seasons and we cannot wait to see our Jags in action as they continue to compete over the next few weeks. We hope everyone is ready for another great week! This week is a short week as students have a holiday on Friday and then students and staff have Monday, February 21, off for Presidents Day!
I want to extend a BIG "thank you" to all of our Jag Families that signed up to help us make "Taco Tuesday" possible. On Tuesday, 2/22/22, we will celebrate our teachers and staff with a luncheon. We appreciate each and every one of you that has donated to make this possible. If you still want to help and missed the sign-up, you can pick up an HEB gift card and drop it off at school before February 22nd. Thank you so much for helping us give our teachers and staff a wonderful appreciation luncheon!
Sincerely,
Cholly Oglesby
Principal
Sartartia Middle School
