Reminder: Tomorrow- first SAMS PTO meeting! Come join us in person or Virtually!

Welcome Back, 7th & 8th Grade Students & Families! 💙
A new school year is here, and we’re so excited for everything ahead!
Our first PTO meeting of the year is Wednesday, September 9th, and we would love for you to join us — in person or virtually! Here is the virtual link for that day https://meet.google.com/wyc-trrp-bpp

PTO meetings are a great way to stay connected to what’s happening at our school. You’ll have the opportunity to meet our principals, Dr. Howard and Mr. Shaw, hear updates directly from our school leadership, ask questions, and learn what’s happening firsthand.
Whether you have lots of time to give, just a little, or simply want to stay informed, there is a place for you in our PTO. Every idea, helping hand and voice matters! ❤️
We’ll also be preparing for our Vendor & Craft Fair on October 10th — our ONE and ONLY school fundraiser of the year! 🎨🛍️
The funds raised at this event allow our PTO to support our students, teachers and school community throughout the entire year, and we truly cannot make it happen without the support of our parents. Whether you can volunteer your time, donate, help behind the scenes, or simply spread the word, every contribution makes a difference for our kids.
Come meet other parents, connect with our school leadership, hear what we have planned for the year, and find a way to be involved that works for you.
We hope to see lots of familiar faces — and welcome plenty of new ones! 😊
💙 It takes all of us, and it’s all for the kids!

☀️ This Wed!

💛 Kindness Day is back at SAMS! 💛

While we celebrate kindness every day, one Wednesday each month is officially KINDNESS DAY at SAMS!

Our first Kindness Day of the school year is Wednesday, September 9!

Students and staff are encouraged to join us by wearing a kindness shirt or YELLOW, a color that represents happiness, positivity, and friendship. 💛

And, of course, the best way to celebrate is to spread a little extra kindness throughout the day. A smile, a compliment, helping someone out, or simply making sure everyone feels included can make a difference.

💛 Wear yellow. Choose kindness. Make someone’s day. 💛
