SMS PTA

Every Wednesday during lunch, students will be able to purchase school supplies and spirit items at the School Store. Please bring cash!

To volunteer, click HERE. 

Effective on January 17, 2025, a transaction fee of $1.50 will be added (as a separate line item) to the final dollar amount of your online credit card payment. These transaction fees, levied by our vendor, have been historically paid and absorbed by PTA as operating expenses. To maintain our PTA fund as much as possible to support our kids, staff and school, SMS PTA has voted to pass transaction fees through to the payees. You may still choose to pay by cash or check in person to avoid paying the fee. 

Thanks for your continued support! For any questions, please contact treasurer@smspta.org. 

Congratulations SMS PTA! We have received the Golden Apple award for 100% faculty participation!

Contact Terri, president@smspta.org, for more info.
