Did you know...
Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for the week of 4/13/20
Did you know that you have been doing school from home for 14 days now? I’m sure you have had some ups and downs but I want you to know how proud I am of your perseverance and dedication to learning!
I am excited to announce that there are a few additions to the PowerSchool class, SME-Mrs. Lewis’ Announcements, this week. Please check out the page for Mr. Prado’s music as well as the page for SME Library. In addition the Eagle Time Specialists have started sharing their April activities for enrichment! Lots of great information for your kiddos to check out!
I also want to make a suggestion for this home learning time period. Try to establish a teacher parent role that is different from your regular parent relationship role. I have caught myself saying things like, “this is your teacher mom talking”, to help distinguish my tone and expectations. As we all navigate through being a parent, teacher, and having our own professional jobs, please remember you are not alone, and it is ok to get frustrated, walk-away, and try again later.
Here are the announcements for this week.
Tuesday, April 14th kicks off our annual AFB Spring Auction, Passport to the Mediteranean. Don’t forget to register as a bidder for free at www.tinyurl.com/smepassport. Even though this will be completely online this year, we still would love your support to help raise money to pay for essential staff members like the music teacher, visual and performing arts specialists, Eagle Time specialists, librarian, recreation and behavior aides, and the community assistant.
Wednesday, April 15th PTA will hold a virtual meeting at 6:30pm. Please join us virtually by clicking on the livestream link below.

I would like to give a big shout out to the 4th and 5th grade students that participated in History Day LA virtually last week. I’m proud to announce that we have several student’s who will move on to the state competition. In the individual poster category, Lily Schmidt, Lacy Kong, Katherine Bleeker, Daisy Negron, and Nessa Kreakopyan, taking an alternate spot. In the group poster category were Levi Sulback-Anderson and Peter Reaves. We also had Humanitarian recognition awards go to James Mims, Leabella Mascari, and Logan Lewis and Allison Chung. Congrats to all of the students!
