Happy Summer! ☀️⛱️

Sandpiper Palooza 2026: MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 🥳🎪🍿

If you happen to see your PTA officers lying face down in the school field today... don't worry, we are just recovering from the absolute whirlwind that was Sandpiper Palooza! 😂👇

We crunched the numbers, and together, we survived and smashed some incredible goals:
700+ amazing kids having the absolute best time 🏃‍♂️💨
15k glow run dollars raised to have this unforgettable day! 💰🎉
Bags of cotton candy spun and popcorn stuffed 🍭 🍿
5 massive bouncy houses jumped to capacity 🏰
Hundreds of cups and T-shirts passed out 🥤👕
30 incredible Middle School helpers (you rock!) 🙌
Dozens of amazing Parent Volunteers who kept us sane and running ❤️

An event this huge truly takes a village, and we could NOT have done it without our phenomenal partners. A massive shoutout and thank you to:
🍧 Kona Ice
🍋 Misty Kern State Farm
👕 Brands Screen Printing
🏰 U Bounce
🪧 Sign Gypsies St Marys
🚽 Southern Disposal

..and, of course, 4 REALLY tired PTA officers who would do it all over again in a heartbeat for these kids. 🥱😴

Thank you to everyone who came out, supported, volunteered, and made this year an absolute success. We did it, Sandpipers!
Have an amazing summer!

The One Where We Showered Our Teachers with Flowers 🌸

Could we BE any more thankful for our Satilla Marsh staff? We hosted a Marsh Market Flower Bouquet Bar to end Teacher Appreciation Week!

Dot & Army donated fabric to add a fun, personal touch to the bouquets!

Just like the gang at Central Perk, our teachers are always there for us. We loved watching everyone channel their inner Phoebe and Monica to create these beautiful arrangements. 💐✨

Take a look at these stunning bouquets ⬇️

It’s time to show some love to the educators who make Satilla Marsh Elementary such a special place! 🍎✨
Teachers do so much more than just teach lessons—they inspire, encourage, and create memories that last a lifetime. Whether it’s a shot from a field trip, a fun classroom activity, or a quick "first day" snap, we want to see those smiles!

Let’s fill this feed with gratitude and celebrate the amazing staff who make SME shine! 🌟💙

💜So no one told you May was gonna be this way? We’ll be there for you!💛

Huge shout out to Gary Lee’s for helping us provide this wonderful lunch to our amazing staff at SME! (That banana pudding though 👀)

This is the one where you’re
A•P•P•R•E•C•I•A•T•E•D!🛋️

💙💚 Teacher Appreciation 💚💙

To our incredible teachers and staff at Satilla Marsh Elementary — thank you.

Your patience, creativity, and dedication shape our students in ways that lasts a lifetime. Every lesson, every encouraging word, and every extra effort you give does not go unnoticed. You make our school community stronger, kinder, and brighter each day.

We are so grateful for all that you do for our Sandpipers! 🐦

With appreciation,
SME PTA
