The term for the 2012-2013 SMS PTA Executive Board Members has come to an end as of June 30. As we wrap up the year and complete our paperwork, we would like to share what your support throughout the year has allowed us to purchase for the school. As you will see, the $1.00 wrist bands, Box Tops, dance concessions, etc. has really paid off. Thank you again and we hope you are having a wonderful summer!

Today is the Last Day
Today is the last day to shop online at the SMS Scholastic Book Fair.
Not only are there great titles to choose from, but your books will ship for free to the school! We will contact you and arrange for pick-up/delivery after the books arrive. It takes 7-10 days for the books to arrive at their destination.
So please take a moment or two to browse and know that your purchase will be much appreciated!
Have a great weekend!

We Are Linked
While we know that many do not shop at Harris Teeter, the number of those that do visit the store are high enough that we decided to register SMS PTA with the Harris Teeter Together in Education rewards program.
You can register your VIC card here.
Thank you for your support.

Jeans Days, They Are a Changin'
It was recently brought to the PTA's attention that not everyone supports our Jeans Day fundraiser. We've been given a variety of reasons, and we are concerned that what is supposed to be a fun event is becoming more of a headache than anything else. With these issues in mind, the PTA has made changes to our Jeans Day fundraiser.
A little background on Jeans Day. . . . This event is great in that it brings in $175-$250 a month without needing mega volunteer manpower. For a variety of reasons, the PTA voted not to do a door to door fundraiser this year, and we believed that Jeans Day was an substitution that parents and students would prefer.
Where does the Jeans Day money go? Right back to the school! We have $1200 budgeted for "Mini Gifts", and Jeans Days help to fund this program. Mini Gifts are requests from SMS teachers. As of this time, we have provided the registration fee for the Math Counts Competition and the Piedmont NHD district competition. We have provided student financial aid for field trips. We are paying for the publication of the first SMS literary magazine, which will showcase in color students' artwork, stories, and poems.
The PTA will be providing snacks during the week of Tera Nova testing. Last year the PTA provided snacks for one day. This year, our goal is to provide snacks for the entire week. We will also provide support for Month of the Military Child, and we will host an appreciation event for SMS staff and the PTA volunteers.
We would like to purchase benches and tables for the front of the school. Eating outside is a great reward for students, and the SMS staff would like to provide this opportunity.
Your support is very appreciated and is very needed.
After tossing around ideas, the PTA is making changes that will hopefully raise support for Jeans Day. First, we are changing the name to Support Your School Day as this paints a better picture as to the purpose of purchasing a wristband. Second, we will share what that month's support will be used for.
So what do you think? Will these changes effect how you view Jeans Day? If you haven't supported this fundraiser in the past, are you more likely to do so now? If not, we'd love to know why.
Thank you!
