Winter Newsletter from the PTA President
Dear SMES Community,
I hope your 2023 has gotten off to a good start. This winter has been busy for the SMES PTA since our Fall update. There was a PTA meeting in November, a Ledo's Dine In night, the SMES staff cookie exchange in December, as well as virtual Bingo night in January. In addition, we've been preparing for some big events in the Spring and we'll need your help to make these events a success!
New Changes to the SMES PTA Calendar:
- Our next Dine Out Night will be on Monday, March 6th at Chick-Fil-A.
- Talent Show moved to a new date in March: In order to avoid a calendar conflict with a CJMS event, we've moved the SMES Talent Show to March 24th. This event will continue to be virtual this year. Watch your email inbox for more information about this showcase of SMES talent.
- New Event - Tigerthon! StoneMill Elementary School will host a Tigerthon fun run in April as a fundraiser for the PTA and support the school. Keep an eye out for more information for this fun in-school event!
- Also in April Stone Mill Scientists will be back as an in person event on April 28th, so start thinking about those science fair projects now.
PTA Meeting on Tuesday!
Please join us for the third PTA Meeting of the year which will be on Tuesday, 07Feb23 at 6:30PM and the topic will be SMES mandatory testing, with special guest speakers Mr. Lyons and Dr. Williams Cascio.
Please feel free to email me with questions/comments/suggestions at president.smespta@gmail.com. I would love to hear from you!
See you at Stone Mill!
Charlotte Lukas
