Wrangler Weekly
Week of January 29, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
It's been an exciting week at SBMS!
Our assistant principal, Ms. Zach, welcomed her new baby on Wednesday. He was eager to join the world early, but he's doing great so far. Ms. Zach and her baby boy are both well -- we are so thankful!
In the interim, we will have a sub for Ms. Zach. Today we welcomed Ms. Troy Jones to SBMS. She is a retired MS principal from Pasadena ISD and will be filling in for Ms. Zach until she returns. We are so thankful for her -- she's jumped in and is going to be a great help to us!
Thursday night our Wrangler Wrobotics team was recognized at the CISD Board Meeting for their amazing skills that launched them to the state competition where they competed against high schools from all over Texas and surrounding states. We are so proud of their hard work!
Finally, we have quite a few students (and teachers) out sick. Our nurse, Ms. Keith, has been very busy. She has asked me to remind all parents that students MUST be FEVER FREE for 24 HOURS before RETURNING TO SCHOOL. Also, remind your students to wash their hands often and not share food or drinks with others. Hopefully the return of some sunshine will help reset everyone to healthy.
Reach out to us if we can help you in any way -
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.
