Mrs. Breeding's December Message
Hello SMES Families! This month, classroom guidance lessons will focus on a "gift of compassion." We are discussing how we can give to others without necessarily having to buy anything! PK-3rd classes are then making holiday cards that will be donated to University of Maryland Eastern Shore Medical Center patients.
As a reminder, please take a moment to review the TCPS Attendance Policy. Please reach out with any questions or concerns (410-745-2882 or cbreeding@talbotschools.org).
