📚❤️ Help Stock the Swap! ❤️📚

Do you have gently used children's books looking for a new home? We'd love your donations! Send books in with your student to help us stock the Storybook Stroll Book Swap and share the joy of reading with fellow Smoke Rise families.

✨ No donation? No problem! Every family is welcome to browse and take home books from the swap, whether or not they contribute books. Our goal is to get great stories into as many hands as possible and celebrate a love of reading throughout our community.

📖 Donate a book.
📚 Discover a new favorite.
💚 Help grow a community of readers.

Bring your gently used children's books to your homeroom teacher and help us make the Storybook Stroll Book Swap a success! 📚✨

✨ What Has PTA Been Up To? ✨

It's been a busy and exciting season for the Smoke Rise PTA, and we couldn't have done it without our amazing volunteers! 💚

🐾 We hosted JagFest, welcoming Smoke Rise families back to school with an evening of fun, connection, and Jaguar pride!

🎉 We celebrated Custodian Appreciation Day by showing gratitude to the incredible team that helps keep our school clean, safe, and welcoming every day.

🍂 We also participated in the Tucker High Fall Festival, where Smoke Rise showed its school spirit loud and proud and brought home the Spirit Award! 🏆💚

🐔 Families showed up big for our Chick-fil-A Spirit Night, turning dinner into support for our school community.

🙌 A special shoutout to our PTA volunteers! Whether you donated supplies, worked an event, set up tables, stayed late to clean up, or simply showed up to support our students, you helped make every one of these events a success. PTA is powered by volunteers, and every hour, idea, and helping hand makes a difference.

Thank you for helping us build a stronger, more connected school community. And we're not done yet... we can't wait to see you at our upcoming 📚✨ Storybook Stroll! ✨📚
