We are so thankful for our friends and supporters at Smith Chapel Methodist Church here in Mineola! Last Saturday they organized a fish fry to help raise money for the Sound of the Swarm’s State Championship Rings. Last night they presented a donation to the Mineola ISD Board of Trustees for over $4,000 to go towards this purchase.
Thank you so much to all of those who have helped raise funds to support these very deserving kids and directors. A date has been set for ring delivery.

Dear Parent or Guardian,
P-EBT benefits will be provided for the 2021–2022 school year. If your child is eligible, benefit amounts will vary because it is based on each student’s COVID-related absences, virtual attendance and school closures. This is different from previous P-EBT benefit amounts that were the same for all students at a campus.
