5th Grade Promotion Leis - Order Today!
In the past, 5th graders leaving SME have been gifted orchid leis as a sign of affection and hope for the future.
Thanks to local florist Leonora Moss, we are able to continue this tradition for the class of 2022. We'd like for each of our 96 fifth graders to receive one!
The wholesale cost of the leis is $13.50. If you are able, please fill out the included form and drop it by the office with a check made out to SME PTA by May 27th.
* PTA will pay the cost for any family that is unable to purchase a lei for their student. Please email president@smepta.org.

AFB Announcements
Thank You for a Wonderful Year!!!
Thank you to all the amazing SME families and supporters who participated in AFB's fundraising efforts this school year. Together, we surpassed our goal of $200,000 and raised $253,000! This allows SME to fund all our Arts Education programming and vital staff needs for the 2022-2023 school years, and put extra funds aside for future needs. AFB couldn't do it without this outstanding community, and we are so grateful for your support!!
