STUCO needs parent volunteers for the Duck Fundraiser during A, B, and C lunches! 

As a volunteer, you will supervise, making sure the cashier is collecting and counting the correct amount, and students are completing the Google order form and a card. At the start of each shift, pick up the cash box from the front office. Whoever volunteers during C lunch makes sure items are packed up and brought to Mrs. Cross, including the cash box.

Through all the uncertainties of parenting in the digital age, one thing is for sure: Smartphones are here to stay. They've unlocked a wealth of knowledge, entertainment, and convenience. But for our children, smartphones have also introduced a bevy of complications for their development and well-being. 

Straight Talk '24: Navigating the Smartphone Era is a livestreamed event featuring top-notch panelists discussing how smartphones are impacting our children's minds, bodies, and classrooms.

It is once again time to elect a nominating committee to recommend a slate of officers for the SMS PTA for the 24-25 school year.  Per our bylaws, the nominating committee is comprised of 5 individuals and 2 alternates.  The president and anyone who served on the committee last year is ineligible to serve.  The committee will be elected at our general meeting on 1/25.  Please consider volunteering to develop a slate of recommended officers that will further our mission to support our students, staff and parents. You will receive directions and guidance and the process generally just takes 2 or 3 hours and a couple of meetings to finalize.  Questions can be directed to Terri Childress, Parliamentarian, at terri.childress@att.net. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

No school on Monday, January 15 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr Day.

Registration opens March 1 for the 2024-2025 season.

This year, our Panther family will be participating in a campus wide community service project on the last day of the semester. We have chosen to partner with Children's Hospital in providing one of their greatest needs, blankets for their patients. December 21st will be a half day for our students, and, that morning, our students and staff will make no-sew blankets to donate to this worthy cause.

Our goal as a campus is to make 300 blankets, but, in order to make this happen, we will need fleece...LOTS of fleece, 1200 yards to be exact, as it requires 4 yards of fleece to make one blanket. We have already had a very generous corporate donation to get us started, but much more will be needed. Only blizzard and anti-pill fleece can be used, and, if possible, please donate in increments of two yards. We would love to be able to show our Schim spirit by using our school colors in solids, plaids, and prints, but we are happy to accept any other colors donated.

Please click on the link to sign up for donations and to get more details about how we all can positively impact our community this holiday season. Thank you in advance for your generosity.
