Wrangler Weekly
Week of February 5, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
Wow -- just like that, it's February!
There is a long weekend to look forward to, but we have MUCH work to do as we use these next months to push for BIG growth in academic skills. The school year begins with building relationships and assessing student needs in relation to the new grade level curriculum. We work to fill gaps and build foundations throughout the year, but the spring brings deep pushing for academic growth.
We value growth in every student -- big or small. Of course we want to see each student make the biggest gains possible, but in some cases, a little growth can be the equivalent of a mountain of effort for a student and teacher, working together to increase understanding, confidence, and fluency.
Thank you for continuing to partner with us on your child's education. Thank you for checking grades, pushing for follow through on lesson completion (and reading their novel), and getting your student to tutorials. Thank you for helping your student maintain a positive attitude toward school and helping them see the goal of growth!
We look forward to seeing how far we can grow greatness in every Wrangler.
Go Wranglers!
Ms. Bratton

STUDENT MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
The SBMS PTA organization works hard to support its students, teachers and families. Every membership makes it possible to have a larger voice with the Texas Legislature.
We would love for our Students to join and share in the PTA mission. Students who join by February 1st will receive the February snack treat and help make Valentines for the SBMS staff.
Please join! $8 is the price but the effect is priceless! To join:
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Your students’ school needs you! Volunteers are essential to SBMS and so are you. There is no right amount of hours or roles you pick…it is up to you!
Some volunteers do needed tasks from home, some donate money or necessary items, some chair events, some serve on the PTA Board and others volunteer for events when they can. All are welcome!
Please take a look at this form and see if you would like to participate. We’d love to work with you in any capacity you can provide. When we all do a little, much gets done.
