Wrangler Weekly
Week of February 19, 2024
Message from Ms. Bratton, principal
This weekend is a great opportunity for our students to "breathe" and read!
Remarkably, there is not much going on this weekend or the coming week. Our fine arts programs are busy rehearsing for upcoming contests and UIL events, and our athletes are "between" competitions -- track and tennis both start competing the last week of February. So, this coming week is a little lighter.
Encourage your student to check their grades. There are 3 weeks to go before report cards are generated. And encourage your students to read -- there are 2 weeks to go before our campus-wide reading contest results are determined. I know I am pushing through my stack of books to help the green team!
Thank you for your support!
Wishing everyone a restful and joyous L-O-N-G weekend!
Go Wranglers!
Ms. Bratton

No need to worry about dinner and entertainment for the evening. PTA will be selling food and drinks, and all SBMS programs will be showcasing their accomplishments!
Wranglers and Beyond!
If you've been here in Wrangler Country very long, you know we have a phenomenal athletic program that shapes young athletes for success in the classroom and in life. We are incredibly proud of so many of our Wranglers who are now thriving as SV Rangers and beyond. Look below for some familiar faces.
