SASM PTA
December Updates
It’s not too late to join the PTA! PTA funds and volunteers help make many of the events, activities, and improvements to our school possible. Membership doesn’t require attending meetings or volunteering (unless you’d like to!). By joining PTA you can form connections, influence school activities and priorities, and help create a strong school community. Register online for this school year.
We’ve received many great ideas for how to use the extra money raised during this year’s Jog-a-Thon. Our goal is to be ready to take a final funding vote at the December 16th meeting. More information about December’s meeting agenda will be sent via email and posted on our website.
Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
November Updates
SASM PTA would like to thank everyone who helped make October’s Fall Bash such a fun event for our school community! We’re so glad to have this fun opportunity for kids and families to get together outside of the school day.
Thank you to our Fall Bash committee chair, Jordan Ortiz, for all the hard work put into organizing this event along with volunteers the EMHS Volleyball Team, EMHS Honor Society, Jasmine Lyons, Jennifer Nunez, Hannah Gaffney, Mia Leggett, Moriah Bearquiver, Shelby Villegas, Faerl Torres, Antuanette Wojton, Melanie Tunell, Melissa Suchey, Jonathan Ortiz, Luke Watson, Jenny and Shawn Strovas, Ms. Kyla, Ms. Burke, Ms. Peacock, Mrs. Scott, plus all our dunk tank participants!
We would also like to thank the businesses who made donations to support the event - thank you to The Triangle, Tijeras Feed Store, Trader Joe’s, Costco, Ellis & Estes Law Firm, Team AirPlay & Crew, and the Sandoval, Wojton, Kern, and Nickolett families! Thank you to the Bernalillo County Fire Department and Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Department for supporting this event as well.
With November comes a time change and shorter days, so we’ve paused Evening Recess for the winter months. We’ve enjoyed seeing the kids get some extra time to run and play with friends on the playground. We'll start back again in March when the days get longer with daylight savings time.
We welcome everyone to our monthly PTA meetings. Our next meeting is Tuesday, November 18th, at 4:00 pm in the SASM library, or online at https://meet.google.com/ixw-wugy-znv. We’ll be discussing proposals for how to use the extra money raised during Jog-a-Thon. If you’d like to submit a proposal for consideration, please email the PTA with a brief description of your idea along with an estimated cost. The deadline for proposal submission is November 11th. You can also provide your feedback in this brief survey: https://forms.gle/N4tFBZ4a9ZUSywYA8.

October Updates
Thank you so much to the SASM community for your support of our 2025 Jog-a-Thon! Every email sent, dollar pledged, lap run, and hour volunteered helped make this event a success - we couldn’t have done it without you! And thank you to our new Jog-a-Thon chair, Veronica Ligon, for her hard work in bringing it all together. The funds we raised will allow our PTA to continue supporting our school with valuable resources and fun family events.
Speaking of fun events…Fall Bash is almost here! Our Fall Bash committee is hard at work putting together an amazing and fun evening and admission is FREE. Come by on October 17th from 5:30 - 7:30 pm to check it out.

Happy New School Year, SASM Families!
My name is Shannon and I’m the new incoming president of the PTA. We’re excited to kick off another year of supporting our terrific school, staff, and families. This year, our PTA meetings will be held in the library on the third Tuesday of every month from 4:00 - 5:00. We’d love to see you there!
Our first PTA meeting of the year will be on Tuesday, August 19th, where we will be reviewing and voting on our proposed budget and fundraising goals. We’re aiming to continue funding the fun events and support we’ve provided in the past including classroom allotments, food for after school events, busses for field trips, guest speakers, and more.
Children who attend the meeting with their parents will need to be able to follow library rules and stay seated quietly for the duration of the meeting. You’re welcome to bring books, activities, or tablets with headphones to help them sit quietly. Food is not allowed in the library. We will also have a Google Meet option for the meeting: https://meet.google.com/ixw-wugy-znv
Everyone is welcome at the meeting, but only members may vote. Register here to become a PTA member for this school year: https://sanantonitopta.memberhub.com/store.
Let’s work together to make this school year the best one yet!
