Parent Volunteers on Campus- PLEASE READ
Teachers will be sending out a communication with the days and times parent volunteers are needed in their classroom, if any, for those of you who meet the requirements and are approved. Not all parents will be able to volunteer, even if eligible.
ALL parent volunteers are subject to screening by the principal.
*Parents that already completed volunteer application 2 years ago, MUST do this process again this year

5th Grade Promotion Leis - Order Today!
In the past, 5th graders leaving SME have been gifted orchid leis as a sign of affection and hope for the
future.
Thanks to local florist Leonora Moss, we are able to continue this tradition for the class of 2022. We'd like for each of our 96 fifth graders to receive one!
The wholesale cost of the leis is $13.50. If you are able, please fill out the included form and drop it by the office with a check made out to SME PTA by May 27th.
* PTA will pay the cost for any family that is unable to purchase a lei for their student. Please email president@smepta.org.
