PTA Update
2016-2017 SMS Yearbooks
There are a limited number of SMS yearbooks left from last year. If you would like to purchase one, please stop by the PTA table at 7th and 8th grade open houses.
SMS PTA UPDATE
We hope you'll consider joining - or renewing your membership to - SMS PTA this year.
We have a few ways you can join SMS PTA:
- We have an online Membership Form where you can both complete the membership form and pay. Click here to access the online Membership Form. There is a small fee (about the same as a postage stamp) to pay online and you will have to complete a separate form for each member joining (i.e. mom and dad)
- Print, complete and mail the attached paper Membership Form with cash or check. Both parents can be included on one form, but it must be mailed to school - not sent with a student to school.
- Stop by the PTA table at 7th or 8th Grade Open House and join either way - plus, you get to meet some of us, too!
PTA COMMITTEES
We are still looking for people to chair or co-chair a few committees this year:
- Academic Rewards & Events/PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention & Support)
- Bulletin Board
- Reflections
- School Board Representative
- Service (SMS Gives Back)
- Staff Appreciation
If you are interested in learning more about any of these committees or chairing/co-chairing one, please contact Vicki Maloney at vsmaloney02@gmail.com.
Committee chairs will usually use Sign-Up Genius to solicit volunteers to help with their committees throughout the year, so keep your eye out for those opportunities in future M'n'M updates.
PTA MEETINGS - MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 at 1:00pm
Our first PTA meeting of the year will be on Monday, September 11, at 1:00pm in the SMS Media Center. Our PTA meetings will be on the second Monday of the month at 1:00pm in the SMS Media Center. Please stop in the office on your way into the building to get a pass. Also, please use the visitor parking spots in the south (left) parking lot or the spots nearest to the road in the north (right) parking lot so we avoid interfering with bus arrival for dismissal.
ROCKIN' AT THE REC!
Today, August 25th, is our first Rockin at the rec! Our theme is spirit wear! Tickets will be for sale at the door if you didn't buy one at lunch this week.
We're so happy to have already met some of you at the Blast Off/Schedule Pick Up day at 6th Grade Open House. We look forward to seeing you throughout the year at SMS!!!
YARD SIGNS
PTA is again selling yard signs where you can include your child's name and sport or activity to display in your yard. Signs are $20, and you can use the attached form to order one. All of the information needed for ordering a sign is included on the form. Stop by the PTA Table at 7th and 8th Grade Open Houses to see a sample of what a completed sign looks like.

Staff will be on hand, daily, to help students find their bus each day.
