SSMS Weekly Update
FEBRUARY 11, 2022
Hello SSMS Tiger Nation,
Thank you SSMS Families for the amazing Valentines Luncheon today. Your generosity and culinary talent is off the charts. The buffet of amazing soups, chilis, enchiladas, desserts, etc. was incredible! SSMS is so fortunate to have amazing parents and an incredible PTA that bolsters our staff with great food and such positivity. Have a great weekend!

Mark Your Calendars - Upcoming Student Holidays

SSMS Cheer - Mandatory Tryout Meeting
APEX Fundraiser
Middle school fundraiser coming...for what you ask? Primarily, shade structure. Why don't they build schools in Texas with shade structures already? Here we are--and can only go forward, so please help. It's hard enough, these awkward years, without sun beating down on you/rain drizzled on making your hair frizz ...and it's Texas so sometimes that's all in the same 30 minutes. Please help our sweet students in the coming month!
PTA Membership
We are 30 members away from hitting our membership this time last year....please join if you have not yet! We have a chance to win a fun prize for all of our current members, and those that join before we draw a name on March 11th! Now is the time, for every member that signs up (parents, kids, grandparents, twice removed cousins) you will be entered in the drawing for a pair of AirPods! Go to
JOINPTA.ORG to become a member and be entered!
