Last week, our Schimelpfenig staff enjoyed treats, breakfast. and lunch in celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week.  Thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this happen and to the Panther families who dropped off extra treats for the teachers during the week!  Staff and students can continue to celebrate this week with the following theme days:

Monday, May 9 -- Hats off to Our Schim Staff! -- wear a school appropriate hat

Tuesday, May 10 -- Schim Staff Rocks -- wear a school appropriate band or artist shirt

Wednesday, May 11 -- Schim Staff and Students Are a League of Their Own -- wear a team jersey, hat, or shirt.

This week, all 7th and 8th graders will be taking STAAR Reading on Thursday, and some will be taking STAAR Math on Friday.  Remind your students to charge their chrome books, bring a book, water bottle, and snack to school on those days.  Good luck to all students who are testing this week!

Reminder to parents of current 6th and 7th graders: School Supplies for next year are on sale on the Schimelpfenig PTA website at smspta.org. The sale continues through Friday, May 27th. All pre-purchased supplies will be delivered to students at Panther Preview, which is scheduled for August 2nd. Only a limited number of supply packs will be available for sale at Panther Preview, so buy your supplies now!
