Wrangler Weekly
Week of January 15, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
Half-way through January? How crazy is that? Our students had their last session with their first Wrangler Time club of the year. We hope they enjoyed their time in BBQ Club or soccer club or slime club or Swifties club or... or... or.. All students will get a NEW club next month. If your student did not get their "first choice" of clubs in the fall, they will have their first choice in the spring. We managed to get them ALL into their first choice, but not everyone was able to do their first choice in the fall. Thank you again for supporting the school fundraiser back in September that made all of this possible.
We want to give a reminder on cafeteria policy: Parents are responsible for all meal account charges before applications are approved for Free or Reduced-Price meals. Students who temporarily do not have funds in their account will be allowed to charge up to $20.00 for full-price meals and up to $5.00 for reduced-price meals.
If this debt exceeds the Charge Policy, students will be offered an alternate meal. An alternate meal consists of a sandwich, fruit, milk, or other items as determined by the Child Nutrition Director.
School lunch accounts can be funded through multiple methods: Cash, check or Credit Card payments using the Lunch Money Now website: https://www.lunchmoneynow.com/lmncco/splash.php.
If at any time your household is experiencing an economic need, either long-term or temporary, please call the Child Nutrition Department (830) 221-2067 to determine if you may qualify for financial assistance through the National School Lunch Program. Free and reduced-price meal applications can be completed confidentially on the Meal App Now website: https://www.mealappnow.com/mancco/splash.php.
If you would like to set permission, restrictions, or limits, on what students may purchase, please see Comal ISD Snack Permissions/Restrictions.
Hoping you all have a warm, safe, and enjoyable three day weekend --
Go Wranglers!
Ms. Bratton

STUDENT MEMBERSHIP DRIVE
The SBMS PTA organization works hard to support its students, teachers and families. Every membership makes it possible to have a larger voice with the Texas Legislature.
We would love for our Students to join and share in the PTA mission. Students who join by February 1st will receive the February snack treat and help make Valentines for the SBMS staff.
Please join! $8 is the price but the effect is priceless!
To join:
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Your students’ school needs you! Volunteers are essential to SBMS and so are you. There is no right amount of hours or roles you pick…it is up to you!
Some volunteers do needed tasks from home, some donate money or necessary items, some chair events, some serve on the PTA Board and others volunteer for events when they can. All are welcome!
Please take a look at the form below and see if you would like to participate. We’d love to work with you in any capacity you can provide. When we all do a little, much gets done.
