DARE Role Models From SHS Pay Students a Visit
Mustang Roundup
Officer Koenig Speaks with Students
Officer Koenig engaged the students and when asked (with a show of hands) how many students have seen such devices and/or been offered to use them, a vast majority of hands, regardless of grade level, went up.
Please continue to have open dialogue with your child on the dangers of such substances. The key point that Officer Koenig brought up, was that you never know what you are ingesting/inhaling when someone offers you a hit from an e-cigarette. The flavored cartridges are quite versatile as they can switched out with foreign substances.
PTA Update
SMS PTA BOARD POSITIONS At the February PTA meeting, the Nominating Committee was formed. It is the responsibility of this committee to present a slate of officers for the 2018-2019 school year. If you are interested in serving in a board position in 2018-2019, please contact someone on the Nominating Committee to express your interest. This year's nominating Committee members are Christine Bianco, Kelly Clark and Sharon David.
MARCH PTA MEETING
Our next SMS PTA meeting is next Monday, March 12th, at 1pm in the SMS Media Center. We meet on the 3rd floor of the Media Center. Please stop in the Main Office to get a visitor pass on your way in.
At the March meeting, the Nominating Committee will present a slate of officers for the 2018-2019 school year (no voting at this meeting - voting will take place in April), we will also get more information about the upcoming spring fundraisers, and, as always, a teacher representative and/or Mr. Deitrick is always in attendance to provide an update and answer questions. We hope to see you there!
If you miss a meeting and want to stay up to date on what is going on, you can now view our meeting minutes on the SMS PTA website.
Thank you to Mrs. Battle for the tour of the MakerSpace! We learned a lot about the opportunities our students have to explore and create. THANK YOU!
YARD SIGNS
If you have a student involved in winter or spring sports/activities, it's not too late to get a sign to show your pride! PTA is still selling yard signs where you can include your child's name and sport or activity to display in your yard.
