Roy J. Smith Middle School

Good Afternoon Smith Parents/Guardians,

We have 5 more days till Spring Break!!

What a great week last week was! The SMS Black History Month program last Thursday was a huge success! Thank you to everyone that came out to support our Leopards as they showed off how talented they really are. I am very proud of ALL of our performers that participated.

Saturday our Academic UIL Sponsors held our first ever campus Academic UIL contest. Students had an opportunity to prepare for their March 23rd KISD Academic UIL Meet. It was a great day for our Leopards who are preparing for the district competition.

The SMS Track team also started there season this week as our Leopards dominated the track!

Below are some of the events happening at Smith this week:

March 5th - Girls Track Meet (Buckley Stadium @ 5:30 pm)

This is the last week to claim current lost & found. Remaining items will be donated during Spring Break. Please encourage your Leopard to verify that they do not have any missing items in our lost & found

There will be no Leopard Learning Lab this Thursday, March 7th. Boys & Girls Club will still be available.

HOW TO PLAY

· Pick up a BINGO card from the library. (Write your name on it and keep it in a safe place. If you lose it, you will have to start over with a new card.)

· Complete the challenge in any four squares in a row, column, diagonal, or four corners on the card to earn a BINGO.

· You must write the title of the book you read in the appropriate square. (It must be a book you are currently reading. Books read prior to the start of this challenge will not count)

· After completing each square, return to the library to answer some questions about the book and get a stamp from library staff for the square to count.

· After each BINGO, you must turn in the card and get a new one.

· Each BINGO earns a prize. You can earn as many BINGOS as you want.

· Each book will only count for one square and cannot be used again by the same player on any other cards.

· The 10 students with the most BINGOS by April 12th will be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE: a field trip to the North Texas Teen Book Festival on April 27th. Check out the link for details.

Parents/Guardians of Upcoming 7th grade students:

This is a reminder to get your future 7th grader vaccinated to help prevent the busy back to school rush. This is to include any other vaccines that are reported as missing during the year. State law requires one dose of the meningococcal vaccine (MCV4) and one dose of the tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis(TDAP) for your student to start and/or enroll in school. Please take care of this as soon as possible as clinics tend to run out of doses as it gets closer to the start of school. If you have any questions or are not sure if your student is up to date, please call the clinic at 254-336-1074 or 1075. Thanks!

If you are interested in volunteering or have questions about please email Ms. Callegari at monika.callegari@killeenisd.org.

There are over 20 different clubs that your Leopard could be a part of.

CLIK THE PICTURE to watch an introductory video to the clubs that are offered at Smith Middle School.

We have a place for everyone.

Every month we will recognize a staff member, student, & teacher for going above and beyond in demonstrating what it means to be a Leopard. If you would like to nominate someone for these spotlights please fill out the form using the link below:
