SEM Spirit Night @ Freeplay

 Big thanks to everyone who came out for some games and the Pinball Tournament! We had 60+ students, family, and staff join us at our first SEM Spirit Nite, raising $290!

 

If you have any ideas for or want to help organize future community Spirit Nites or Parent socials, please email Jaime at programs@semagnet.org

 

Stock the teacher's Lounge - Freshman Parents

One of the simplest ways we say thank you to the people who look after our students all day is keeping the SEM teacher's lounge stocked with snacks and drinks. It's a small thing that gets noticed, especially in the middle of a long week.

 

 Here's how it works: each grade level takes a turn covering a month. Parents can sign up two ways - as a Weekly Parent Volunteer, who coordinates the goodies for one week, or by claiming a single item to donate. Think fruit, mini muffins, granola bars, individual bags of Goldfish or popcorn, juices, flavored waters, coffee creamer, and bottled teas. Donations can go to school with your student and be handed to Ms. Martinez in the SEM office - no special trip required.

 

Freshman parents are up first, and their sign-up is open now. If you have a freshman, please take a look - there are still weeks and items waiting to be claimed.

 

Here's the rest of the year so you can plan ahead:

  • October - Sophomore parents
  • November - Junior parents
  • December - Senior parents

If your month is coming, now's a good time to put it on the calendar. When your turn arrives we'll share the sign-up link, and claiming one item takes about a minute.

 

Freshman parents, sign up here!

 

Spirit Store News

Good news on two fronts: the Spirit Store has been restocked, so if something you wanted was sold out, take another look. And every order placed so far has been filled — those have either gone home with your student or are waiting for pickup in the SEM office.
