Congratulations to Ms Almario and Ms Quirk’s classes. You guys won an ice cream sundae class party from Handel’s.
Thank you all for stopping by Handel’s on spirit night.

Final Push, Superstars ⭐️

We’re so close! Our SSEF Star Fund goal is $120,000—and we’ve raised $95,000 so far. That means just $25K to go!

These funds directly support our students every day—from smaller class sizes and teacher support to STEM, IB programs, and classroom resources.

Every gift matters. Every dollar counts.

Let’s finish strong together 💫

Happy Principal Appreciation Day to Principal Perot! 💙

We are so grateful for the way she has jumped into her first year at Sarah Smith with such warmth, care, and heart. She has taken the time to get to know our students, support our teachers and staff, connect with families, and help keep our school moving forward.

It has been a big year, and we are thankful for her steady leadership, her kindness, and the happiness she brings to our community.

Please join us in showing Principal Perot some love today — we are so lucky to have her!

Thankful Thursday ♥️ ✨
Last Friday was Kindergarten Roundup 🤠
We loved seeing all our incoming Kindergarteners coming to explore the school.

Huge thank you to our amazing Chairs, Bridget Massengill and Kristin Steed for creating such a warm and welcoming event for our new families. Everyone enjoyed learning about Sarah Smith and exploring our school. Not forgetting how cute everyone looked in their cowboy boots and hats. Thank you for everything you did to help showcase our wonderful school.
