Wrangler Weekly
Week of March 25, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
We have all returned to the rhythm of school following Spring Break and are now setting our sights on both work and fun.
The work is focused. With April coming up quickly, we have STAAR on the horizon. STAAR dates are noted here for your convenience. Know that we are pushing hard to ensure each student does their very best. We appreciate your students having GREAT attendance so they have every opportunity to meet their goals.
Fun is on deck also! Today we had our second round of Spring Clubs during Wrangler Time -- hopefully your Wrangler had some fun and learned something new.
Even MORE exciting is the fast-approaching PTA Spring Showcase! This is a great event where our students are the stars -- they perform, and they provide insight into campus clubs and organizations for new and returning students. Our PTA makes this a GREAT EVENT -- full of food, fun, and fellowship (and an amazing raffle with some HUGE gift baskets).
We hope you have this on your calendar: April 4 -- from 5-7 (doors open at 4:30). Your student is welcome to stay for the fun, eat, watch their friends perform, and you can join them when you are able. We would love to have a big turnout at the 2nd Annual SBMS PTA Spring Showcase!
Go Wranglers!
Ms. Bratton
