President's Note - 5/27/21

Today is the last day of school for Schimelpfenig MS!  
 
Before we go, we would like to congratulate all of our Reflections winners this year!  And a great job to all who submitted an entry this year.  Summer vacation is a perfect time to work on your Reflections project for next year!  Please see the entry below this note for more information about our winners.
 
On Tuesday, the 8th graders celebrated with a special hour-long lunch, feasting on Cane's chicken and Chipotle quesadillas.  Today is the last day to take photos in front of the Congratulatory sign.  Don't miss this opportunity to memorialize your 8th grade students, their friends, and your family at the end of this unique 2020-21 school year!  
 
Over summer vacation, please keep your eye out for PTA Newsletters and FB posts.  We are continuing to sell School Supplies and PTA Membership for the 2021-22 school, and will be selling new Spirit Wear later in the summer for pickup at Panther Preview.  Don't forget to continue filling our World Wear container, making your Amazon purchases through Amazon Smile (PTA Texas Congress Schimelpfenig Middle School PTA), and shopping at Kroger and Tom Thumb with your accounts linked to Schimelpfenig PTA.  
 
Good luck to those who are moving on to a new school next year!  See some of you back here in August!  Until then....

2021 Reflections Award Winners and Award Video

5/27/2021 11:01 am

Council judging for the Reflections program is complete! 
 
Over 300 entries from all across Plano ISD were judged by generous professionals in the community. All of them were amazed at the talent we have in Plano. We were in awe that we had so many entries across the district. We were also impressed at the beautiful art from our kiddos at Schimelpfenig Middle School. Thank you for being a creative kid and participating!
 
It is hard to progress from the school level to the council level. But 14 kiddos from our Schimelpfenig Middle School kiddo's did progress and 4 out of the 20 were recognized!!  WOW!  We are so proud that you made it to the council level.
 
At Council level judging, only 10% of entries by grade division and category (for example: Primary, Dance) would get the Award of Excellence, 15%, Award of Merit and 25% Honorable Mention. From there, only ONE Award of Excellence per group could move on to represent Plano ISD for a total of 23 items across all age groups and categories.
 
Now, here are the results from the council:
  • Sana Dantulwar from 8th grade received an Award of Merit for her work titled "I Matter Because Nature Matters To Me"  under Visual arts
  • Sanvi Dantulwar from 8th grade received an Award of Merit for her work titled "A Pathway to Great Things"  under Visual arts
  • Sanvi Dantulwar from 8th grade received an Award of Merit for her work titled "No Matter What..." under Literature. 
  • Andrew Lee from 6th grade received an Honorable mention for his work titled "Cubing With the World" under Visual arts
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!! YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAVE ACHIEVED.
