A Note from SMLS PTA

We hope all the SML Families are staying safe and healthy during this uncertain time. As a precautionary measure and in consultation with the school, PTA has decided to cancel the following upcoming events: Bingo, Mother Daughter Tea & the Father Son Event and the End of Year Pool Party. In addition to these cancellations, we are postponing the Spring Clothing Drive, 5K/Color Run and SMLS Casino Night until a date in the future once the social distancing restriction has been lifted.  All previous purchases, donations and sponsorships will remain valid for the new date. If you have purchased tickets and you have a conflict with this date once it is announced, please contact PTA (PTA@smlschool.org). We appreciate your patience and understanding as we make these scheduling changes. If you have any questions, please contact us (PTA@smlschool.org).
