Wrangler Weekly
Week of November 17, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
Career Day success:
We want to thank all of our volunteers who donated their time and their story to inspire our Wranglers. We had more parents than ever stepping up to present at career day -- SO wonderful to see this! Thank you to our counselors for coordinating and our PTA for the refreshments. Ask your kiddo to tell you about 3 things they learned today... even if they learned that they would NEVER want to work as ___x___, THAT is learning too! 😎

Chipotle Fundraiser - Nov 20
Tired of cooking? Give yourself the night off and do good for our Wrangler family. Your SBMS Silver Stars Dance Team is hosting a fundraiser this Wednesday, November 20th from 4-8pm at our local Chipotle at 414 Singing Oaks. When you show this flyer in the restaurant or order online for pickup using code H24KDVK, 25% of event sales are donated back to our dance team.
Volunteers needed - Nov 22
SBMS Day of Awesomeness is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 22.
Our campus fundraiser, Pop4Kids, will be providing this celebration.
Here's an overview of the day: Each grade level will have approximately 2 hours with...Next Level as we celebrate with a Day of Awesomeness - an event full of laughter, dance, and unforgettable memories. Inspired by TV shows like Wipeout and American Ninja Warrior. Click here for a sneak peek!
But we need your help -- can you spend 2 hours outside on the football field helping ensure all students have fun, and enjoy watching your kiddo and their friends enjoy the sunshine and celebrate awesomeness? Volunteers will be monitoring the entrance and exits to the blow up obstacle courses.
We need your help to make this day GREAT -- if you would like to come and help, the sign up is here.:
7th grade: 8:30-10:30
6th grade: 11:00-1:00
8th grade: 1:30-3:30
Also, every volunteer will need to complete the background check for CISD -- this must be done each school year.
I also want to make you aware that we have set the expectation with students for acceptable behavior if they are to be included in the Day of Awesomeness. We want to ensure that this day is truly a celebration for our students.
Heater & Blanket Drive through Nov 30
As many local families are left without proper heating and blankets this winter, SBMS is doing our part to bring some warmth into the homes of our neighbors this holiday season. Drop off blankets, heaters or fleece material in the box by the counselors corner now through the end of November.
Dance Team Tryout Clinics - Dec 16/Jan 27
Your SVHS Silver Spurs and Silverado dance teams are hosting two upcoming tryout clinics on Monday December 16th and January 27th. Your student can attend one or both dates. Click here to register.
UIL Academics
UIL Academics is in full swing, and we had a great turnout at the recent interest meeting. If your child missed it or you want to know more, please check out this site or reach out to Coach T. (david.tomasson@comalisd.org).
A Message from Nurse Keith
We are starting to see some illnesses on campus. Please be aware of Comal ISD policy regarding fever, which requires that all students and staff be free of fever (100 degrees and above) for at least 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medications, before returning to school. Thank you for working with us to help prevent the spread of illnesses at school.
