The PTA board would like to thank you for another great year! Smith would not be the great school that it is without all of your support! We would also like to give everyone an update on plans for the outdoor area between Pods 1 and 2. In June, the district is planning on clearing out the area and having aggregate material put in. We have ordered tables, chairs, a trash can, and container gardening. We hope this will all be in place in early August. This will be a great area for classes to go outside for lessons, reading, or for parents to enjoy lunch with their child. This could not have been made possible without the money we raised from Stampede, so THANK YOU!
Don’t forget to follow us on Facebook at Noel A Smith Elementary PTA for updates over the summer and for back to school! Thank you again and have a wonderful summer!

5th Annual Stampede – Fall 2016
Have a business? Work at one? Then you can help!
We need sponsors for our 5th annual Smith Stampede coming this fall!
If your company is interested in supporting the community and learning about sponsorship benefits please send an email to SmithStampede@gmail.com
Our goal is to cover the operating expenses (t-shirts, prizes, communication, etc) of the event with donations from local businesses so that all of the fundraising efforts go directly back to our school, students, and teachers.
Thank you!
