Schmucker PTO Newsletter
August 2018
From the President
After a summer that passed all too quickly, the PTO is excited to be planning and organizing for a fun, productive year at SMS. We appreciate all the continued support from our administration, Mrs. Dean-Null and Mr. Fry, and offer a special welcome to new Assistant Principal Krystin Martin.
With your assistance, last year the SMS PTO was able to offer several experiences that would not have been possible through the regular school budget including field trips, the 5 Star program and classroom and student activity support. We aim to do the same and even more this year. Look for us at Schedule Pick Up days and Meet and Greets, keep reading our newsletter, and follow us on Facebook. Our first meeting is Thursday, September 6 at 1:00 pm at SMS. Share your talents and enthusiasm and enrich your child's middle school years at Schmucker!
