🇺🇸 Your Voice, Your Vote! 🗳️

Today, our SMES Stallions got a firsthand look at democracy in action during our 2026 Mock Election!

Students stepped into the role of voters as they learned about the election process, explored the candidates for Florida Governor, and cast their votes in a simulated voting experience!

From making informed decisions to understanding the importance of a private ballot, our Stallions practiced what it means to be responsible, engaged citizens.

We are proud of our students for participating in this meaningful learning experience. Who knows? We may have some future leaders among our Stallions!

Every voice matters, and every vote counts! 🇺🇸

Time to rise, shine, sip and repeat! Join the Morning Bubbles & Brew Crew—where creativity meets caffeine! In this club, students become mini baristas, whipping up tasty coffees and fizzy dirty sodas for our amazing Stallion Staff. Once each drink masterpiece is complete, our Barista Bunch hits the road (well… the hallways!) to deliver smiles, sips, and snacks all across campus.

The November sign up for 3rd and 5th Graders will go live on Tuesday, November 3rd at 9AM! The November meeting is Wednesday, November 11th! https://forms.gle/gs8q455NUgwM9EPq8

What an exciting day at SMES!

We kicked off our fundraiser today, and the excitement is HIGH! Students should have come home with their fundraising forms and are ready to get started! We can’t wait to see our Stallion families come together to support our school!

The learning didn’t stop when the students went home! Our amazing teachers spent their afternoon engaged in professional development, collaborating, sharing ideas, and growing their instructional practices.

We are so proud of our teachers for continuing to learn and grow together! When our teachers grow, our students grow!

It’s a great day to be a Stallion!
