Schimelpfenig Middle School PTA

09/04/2026

Have you asked yourself, “How can I help?”

The good news is, you don’t have to take on a big role to make a BIG difference. There are several simple ways you can help support our school, students and our teachers right now — and every single one makes a huge difference!

🙋‍♀️ HAVE A LITTLE TIME TO GIVE? VOLUNTEER FOR FALL FEST!

We need volunteers to help with:
🛠️ Set-up
🎉 Running activities
🧹 Clean-up

Even if you can only give an hour or help with one small job, that time is a HUGE help to our PTA!

👉 Get approved to volunteer at https://plano.voly.org/

🛒 CAN’T VOLUNTEER? YOU CAN STILL HELP!

Maybe you don’t have the time to volunteer or can’t commit to a larger role — that’s okay! Another incredibly helpful way to support us is by simply purchasing an item from one of our Amazon Wishlists.

❤️ IT ALL ADDS UP!

Whether you volunteer your time, purchase something from a wishlist, or simply share this post with another Panther family, you are helping our PTA support our students, teachers, and staff.

We know everyone’s time and resources look different, and we truly appreciate any way you’re able to help. Sometimes the smallest contribution can take something off our plate and make a HUGE difference behind the scenes.

🐾 If you’ve been wondering how you can help — THIS is your opportunity!

Thank you for showing up for Schimelpfenig! We couldn’t do it without our Panther families!

NO SCHOOL MONDAY!

Just a friendly reminder, Panthers — Monday, September 7 is a student and staff holiday, so there’s NO SCHOOL!

Sleep in and enjoy the extra day.

We’ll see everyone back at school on Tuesday, September 8!

Enjoy your long weekend! 🐾

📣 PANTHER FAMILIES — WE NEED YOU!

We have a BIG goal, and every membership matters!

We need 122 more PTA members to reach last year’s membership total by SEPTEMBER 30TH — and we’d love to have YOU be part of it!

❤️ WHY DOES PTA MEMBERSHIP MATTER?

Because when you join the PTA, you’re showing our students that their school matters to you. Your membership helps support our students, teachers, and staff, while giving our PTA the support it needs to advocate for our school, provide special programs and experiences, and strengthen the entire Panther community.

And here’s something important: You do NOT have to be a parent to join!

🐾 Parents & caregivers
🐾 Grandparents
🐾 Aunts & uncles
🐾 Family members
🐾 Teachers & staff
🐾 Community members
🐾 Friends & supporters of SMS

Anyone who wants to support our students and our school can become a PTA member!

You don’t have to attend meetings or volunteer to make your membership meaningful. Simply joining is a powerful way to show your support for our Panthers.

🎯 Our goal: 100% of last year’s membership total by Sept. 30!
🔥 122 memberships needed this month!

And don’t forget! Students can become PTA members, too! There are even special perks for PTA student members at our Fall Social!

👉 JOIN TODAY & SHOW YOUR PANTHER PRIDE!

Every membership counts. Every voice matters. Every Panther belongs. 🐾
