SMES Saints Scoop
Updates and Reminders: October 24, 2021
Dear SMES Families,
Dear SMES Families,
Here are a few updates for the week:
Free and Reduced Meals Application:
Another Chance to win! One final push for completed forms: Please complete a FARMS application if you have not already done so! You may apply online by visiting the TCPS home page, and scrolling down to the link for the Free and Reduced Meal App. Applications received by October 28, 2021, will be entered into a drawing on October 29, 2021 . Two lucky winners will receive a $200.00 gift card to a local grocery store.
Fall School Pictures:
Good news: Lifetouch has assured us the remaining Fall pictures will be delivered this week. Because we want to be sure that all families have the first round of pictures before the retakes, SMES Fall Picture Retakes will be on November 17. We will not have any picture retakes on October 26.
November 1 we will celebrate Fall with Pumpkins and Pajamas. This is the day after Halloween. The younger grades will do activities with a pumpkin theme. All students may wear pajamas. No students need to bring in their Halloween candy :).
SMES currently qualifies as a Title 1 school. Parents have a right to know the qualifications of all staff working in a Title I school. Please visit our website, and click on the Title I link to see the 'Parent's Right to Know' letter to learn more.
Thank you for your continued support. Do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions. (ibullock@talbotschools.org, 410-745-2882)
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
Dr. Bullock, Proud SMES Principal

Mrs. Breeding's October Message
Hello SMES Families! For the month of October, classroom guidance lessons have covered anti-bullying information for students. Lessons started this past week to coincide with Unity Week.
While October lessons will wrap up this week, 4th and 5th grade will participate in Red Ribbon Week. They will have some brief classroom discussion about staying alcohol and drug-free. They will have activities to complete and will watch some brief videos and presentations on this topic!
As always, please reach out to me with any questions or concerns at cbreeding@talbotschools.org or 410-745-2882.
