To support your student and reward them for their hard work, the PTA is offering snack packs for advanced purchase online. Water and treats for $1 each will be available for each testing day.

We are also collecting donations for our annual Staff Appreciation week and End of School Student celebration. We plan to show our gratitude to the SMS staff with lunches and treats all week. Last year we were able to book the Kona Ice truck for students to enjoy at the end of the school year and we hope to do it again this year.
