PTA President's Note - 1/5/22

Happy New Year to all our Panther Families!
 

Today is the first day of the Spring Semester -- half-way through the 2021-22 school year!  We hope that your students had a wonderful winter break and are ready to start the semester rested and healthy.  

 

In the interests of keeping our school community as healthy and safe as possible, your PTA Board has made the difficult decision to cancel the Winter Social that was planned for Friday, January 14th.  In the past week or so, Covid cases have increased daily, locally and throughout Texas and the United States, and the prospect of gathering together 100s of students plus volunteers for a party in less than 10 days does not seem advisable under these circumstances.  We will continue to plan events for this year, hoping that the Omicron strain will pass quickly and that it will be safe to hold in-person events for our students later in the semester.   

 

Nominating Committee -- In April, we will elect new PTA officers for the 2022-23 school year.  Last year, due to Covid, Texas PTA rules allowed us to roll-over our board without an election.  This year, we are back to the normal rules, and we need your help!  At our January 25th General Assembly Meeting, the membership will be voting on a nominating committee consisting of 5 members and 2 alternatives.  The nominating committee will meet in the coming months to choose a slate of officers to be presented and voted on at the April 20th General Assembly meeting.  If you are interested in being on the nominating committee, please contact me ASAP at president@smspta.org

 

SKI Plano -- Schimelpfenig PTA is donating a basket to be auctioned off at the SKI Plano event on February 5, 2022.  Our basket theme is "Shop Local".  If you own and/or operate a local company and would like to donate an item or gift certificate to include in the basket, please send an email to me at president@smspta.org.

 

Thank you for your help and understanding throughout what continue to be challenging circumstances!
