Principal Lewis' Sunday Update for the week of 8/26/19
10 days down out of the 180 school days for the 2019-20 school year, and already I am seeing the growth in students! I want to officially welcome our 150 new students to SME and thank all of you who were able to attend our Back to School Night last week! Sorry you had to look at my backside in the video!
Here are the announcements for this week:
Monday, August 26th at 7:50 a.m., students in grades 1st-5th will meet their teachers up on the playground. We will have our BRAVO assembly, starting at 7:50 a.m. Please join us as we learn more of our school dance and hear about our BRAVO theme for the 2019-20 school year!
Wednesday, August 28th at 6:00 p.m. in the auditorium, we will have another Volunteer Orientation. Attending a Volunteer Orientation is a required step toward obtaining clearance before working as a volunteer. All parents interested in becoming a volunteer are invited to attend. If you were a volunteer last school year, please stop by the main office and fill out one of the blue volunteer renewal forms.
Then, at 6:30 p.m., we will stay in the auditorium, and have our first PTA meeting. Let’s see if we can have more than the 50 parents we had last year. There will be childcare provided in the cafeteria by the Sierra Madre YMCA.
Thursday, August 29th is Picture Day. Please refer to the flyer that came home last week in the Wednesday Folders or go online to shopstudio1.com and enter the code B227.
Apply For Lunch Reminder
Please have all free meal applications submitted online at www.myschoolapps.com as soon as possible. SME receives money through the LCFF for each application received.

Student Safety Reminder
Finally, thank you for keeping our students safe by following our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up procedures. Please remember to use crosswalks, and be courteous to the neighbors. No students should be dropped off in the staff parking lot.
Power of 10
This Wednesday, you will receive information and permission slips for your child to attend any or all of our 10 minutes morning clubs. Each club will be described and will have a separate permission. All of the Power of 10 morning clubs will begin the week of Labor Day. All parents that are approved volunteers are invited to help support the success of these 10 minute mornings. Please stop by the office if you would like more information.
