Veteran's Day
Smith Elementary will be holding its annual Veterans Day celebration on Friday, November 11, 2016 at 8:00 am in the school café. This special event will take the place of Celebrate Smith. All of you are invited to attend and encouraged to bring along any U.S. Veterans you know so we can honor their service and sacrifice! Our 3rd Graders will be performing several songs, we will have a keynote speaker, and special student readers will be sharing their letters of thanks to all who have served.
*Please make sure your child wears their new 5th grade class t-shirt.
Stampede was a success. The school raised over $44,000

- Drop off medicine by November 14
- Students can bring a snack for the bus ride there, and then 3 or 4 additional snacks to eat during the day
- NO TECHNOLOGY is allowed for the students
- Regular watches and Fitbits are okay, but at the risk of being lost
- Students have to carry their sleeping bag and luggage themselves so keep things small
