Did you know...
Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for 10/29/18
I would like to take a moment to say thank you to Ms. Pat Vidimos for her many years of tremendous support and work at SME. Ms. Pat has chosen to move over to the middle school. This move is voluntary and is something I am supporting. Please know that Pat loves SME and will still be around to support in the future! Please join me in saying “Thank you, Ms. Pat!”
Here are the announcements for this week:
Monday, October 29th at 7:50am, students in grades 1st-5th will meet their teachers up on the playground. We will have our BRAVO assembly, starting at 7:50am.
Wednesday, October 31st is Halloween. Students may wear their costumes to school and participate in our Halloween parade starting at 8am on the playground. Wednesday is also Wear your Costume Playday, so students will have an extended recess. Students may bring a non-electronic toy to school. If students want to change, please have them bring a change of clothes and a bag to put their costume in.
Friday, November 2nd we will have an AFB meeting at 8am in the library. Come hear how we are doing on our All in for Fall Campaign.
Read-a-thon
Thank you to all who participated in our 2018 SME Read-A-Thon! Congratulations to all those who dedicated the last 14 days to making reading a priority in their daily routines. Just because the Read-A-Thon is over, doesn’t mean you have to stop being a Super Reader!
Food Drive
Our annual SME PTA Thanksgiving Food Drive starts Monday, November 5 and runs through Thursday, November 15. Please help to make a difference to a Sierra Madre School family in need by joining us in collecting non-perishable food items. Suggested food donations include canned meats, soups, chili, vegetables & fruits; dried pasta & beans; peanut butter, cooking oil, 100% fruit juice, cereal & oatmeal, etc. A helpful list of suggested donations will be in your student's Wednesday folder this week and this list can also be found on the SME website. Food donations may be dropped off in the collection box in your child's classroom or at the table just outside the school office.
In addition, our PTA gladly accepts monetary donations and grocery store gift cards. Please hand monetary donations in at the office. Finally, if you are interested in receiving a food basket or require more information please contact the office and let them know. Your donations will help ensure that all of our Sierra Madre School families have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Sibling registration has begun and will be through November 16th. Stop by the office for more information.
