WANTED: MENTOR FAMILIES for our INCOMING SBMS STUDENTS & FAMILIES
Remember when you and your family were brand new to SBMS? Remember that friendly email or invitation you received from a current SBMS family with an offer to connect over the summer, share a cup of coffee, enjoy a family beach day or a backyard barbecue?
Now it's your turn .... we are looking for MENTOR FAMILIES to help usher in our newest SBMS family members.
What does it entail? We ask our Mentor families to connect with their new families at least one time before the start of school and to stay closely connected throughout the first part of the school year - offering words of SBMS wisdom about the bike trips, the SBMS Hub, electives, navigating SBMS, and more.
Email Sue if you are willing to mentor a new family! We need you!
ALL-SCHOOL DANCE
Save the date for the All-School Dance on Friday, May 18 at The Narrative Loft. Parents, please purchase tickets for your students online -- just log into the SBMS Hub, and you will see the link on the Resources page right away. Stay tuned for more details next week.
CHECK THE SBMS HUB FOR TRIP INFORMATION, WAIVERS & MORE
Please remember to login to the SBMS Hub to buy tickets for the All-School Dance, sign waivers, download packing lists, and to find additional information regarding the End-of-Year Expeditions.
PUT YOUR CHILD'S NAME ON EVERYTHING
In preparation for the End-of-Year Expeditions, please label everything with your child's name. We mean everything - each spoon, fork, plate, gloves, etc!
