St. Mary's Elementary PTO is having a Spirit Wear Sale! You can find the link to the store here: https://firstedition.chipply.com/colganpanthers/
This year we are offering a Friday sweatshirt for the SME students to wear! Just like they wear their theme shirts on Fridays now, as the weather turns cooler they will be allowed to wear a designated sweatshirt on Fridays. You will find that at the top of the shopping page linked above.
Each purchase you make will help our PTO sponsor events throughout the year like the Fall Carnival, Grandparent's Day, Fat Tuesdays treats, Dr. Seuss Cafe refreshments, and much more. They also provide stipends for our teachers to use on classroom materials and supplies and provide meals for our teachers during parent/teacher conferences and Teacher Appreciation Week. In the past several years, our PTO has purchased Flip-Form risers, Smart Boards for the classrooms, and upgraded our PA system.
Get a jump start on your Christmas shopping! The store will close on Tuesday, November 4 at 12pm. Orders will be ready for pick up before Thanksgiving break!
Thank you in advance for supporting the SME PTO through this Spirit Wear Sale!

Dear Senior Parents,
First, please know that I am honored to have the opportunity to work with your child and be a part of their senior year! On behalf of our entire staff, we want to acknowledge your commitment, sacrifice, and support of SMC on Friday as we recognize you and your child on senior night versus Southeast.
We ask that all senior parents meet on the track at the East end of the field at 620pm. If you could help lineup in alphabetical order it would be greatly appreciated. We will have everyone walk out between the field numbers and sideline, and face the crowd. When your name is announced please step forward a few steps with your child to be acknowledged. All will leave the field after all names have been read.
As a small token of appreciation, each mom will have a corsage waiting for you at the East gate on our home side as you line up. A personal note, written by your child, will be given to the dads as you line up to begin the ceremony. With the anticipation of rain in the forecast, I suggest having an umbrella/poncho/etc. and being prepared for the weather.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Looking forward to a continued great school year and a senior year filled with lasting memories!
May God continue to bless you and your family.
As of last night, we’ve raised $19,360—almost double our goal! 💙
You’re amazing, so we’re raising the bar… new goal: $25,000! 🙌
🏆 Top Weekly Seller: Molly Dunbar
