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.

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.
