Calling all 3rd–5th grade girls!

Join Girls on the Run to make new friends, build confidence, and have fun while being active! Girls will learn important skills such as teamwork, managing emotions, showing kindness, and supporting others.

Throughout the season, girls will grow together as a team and celebrate their accomplishments by completing a 5K and a Community Impact Project.
Come be part of Girls on the Run!

Time to rise, shine, sip and repeat! Join the Morning Bubbles & Brew Crew—where creativity meets caffeine! In this club, students become mini baristas, whipping up tasty coffees and fizzy dirty sodas for our amazing Stallion Staff. Once each drink masterpiece is complete, our Barista Bunch hits the road (well… the hallways!) to deliver smiles, sips, and snacks all across campus.

The September sign up for 3rd and 5th Graders will go live on Friday, September 4th at 9AM! The September meeting is Wednesday, September 16th! https://forms.gle/6FdmQD7TnLHuDT7V8

Our first monthly literacy challenge begins TODAY! In honor of American Founders’ Month, SMES students are encouraged to explore books and texts about the people, events, ideas, and symbols that helped shape our country.

⭐ The Challenge:
📚 Read 5 books or texts related to American Founders’ Month
✏️ Complete the Stars, Stripes & Stories Book Tracker and reading response which are being sent home
⏱️ Log 420 minutes in Beanstack between September 1–18
🏅 Complete the challenge to earn the Stars, Stripes & Stories Brag Tag!

Remember: The 420 Beanstack minutes do NOT all have to come from the five Founders’ Month texts. Regular reading counts too!

Challenge sheets are due September 18 and can be turned in to your child's teacher or Mrs. Simmons.

An email was sent to families yesterday with additional information, reading resources, and details about this year's monthly literacy challenges. Be sure to check it out!

Happy reading, Stallions!

Last year’s K–2 students: Read 1,250+ minutes
Last year’s 3rd–4th graders: Read 1,700+ minutes

Many of our students also completed all 8 summer reading logs—a huge accomplishment that showed their commitment to reading throughout the entire summer!

We are so proud of the hard work and dedication these Stallions showed over break. Way to keep those pages turning all summer long!
