Check out The Sabre Voice – your one stop to all things South Meck

Have you checked out The Sabre Voice? This website is one central location for students, staff, parents, and community members to view news and upcoming events related to South Meck. Rather than receiving a newsletter at the end of each week as in the past, everyone will be able to visit this website at any time to see real-time updates with the latest news and information. Soon, we will begin sending all our communication through The Sabre Voice. Check it out here: www.thesabrevoice.com

IYC - Your Generosity Supports SM

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Invest in Your Child campaign. We need your help to get across the finish line. Your generosity has purchased new microwaves for the cafeterias for students to use. Hopefully, these will shorten the long wait for the microwaves so students have more time to eat. We are also hosting a lunch for staff on Oct. 31, the next teacher workday. If you haven’t made a donation yet, please do so this week. Every dollar raised supports our South Meck staff, students, teachers and families. With your donations, we will be able to support teachers by purchasing classroom supplies, fund programs for students and provide lunches to staff. Every student and staff member benefits from your contribution. No donation is too small or too large. Donate on-line or drop off your IYC donation form and check to the red PTSA lock box in the front office. Find the link to donate and forms here. https://www.southmeckhsptsa.com/invest-in-your-child.html
