The Symmes PTO would like to invite all moms (or any special person) to enjoy a muffin and coffee with your child in the cafeteria before the school day begins! Our Book Fair will be open in the MPR so please stop by.
If your child’s last name begins with the letter A-L, please join us on Wednesday, November 7th, from 8:15 a.m. until 9:15 a.m.
If your child’s last name begins with the letter M-Z, please join us on Friday, November 9th, from 8:15 a.m. until 9:15 a.m.
If you cannot make it on your designated day and would like to come on the other day, please indicate on the RSVP. (Flyers went home on Thursday)
To make appropriate food calculations, please RSVP if you plan on attending. Complete and return the lower portion on the flyer to school no later than Monday, November 5th. As an incentive, your RSVP will be entered in a raffle for door prizes! We’re looking forward to another great Moms and Muffins!
VETERAN'S DAY REMINDER
This year on Friday, November 9th, we are excited to have a Veteran's Day celebration at Symmes!
We would love for active military members and veterans of current Symmes Elementary School students to join us with honor for a Veterans Day Assembly on Friday, November 9, 2018, from 2:15 - 3:30 p.m.
We wish to extend a special invitation to the veterans or active military members who are family members of our students. If you are a veteran, or an active member in service, please fill out the section below and respond to this link ASAP, so that we may plan for your attendance.
Due to parking and space limitations, we ask that only veterans and active military members attend this celebration. Thank you for your understanding.

COOKIES ARE COMING!
LOCK DOWN DRILL
In an effort to keep you informed, we had a lock down drill today during lunchtime. We purposefully planned the drill for this time as it is important that we plan for the safety of all children during all times of the school day. The children and staff responded appropriately and we were able to move all children to a safe place. We will practice drills throughout the school year so we can always keep your children safe.
