Elementary Update
We are embracing all things Fall here in the elementary!! Our preschoolers visited the fire station, our 1st graders made their way to the pumpkin patch, and many of our k-6 students are engaged in fall sports. In the days ahead we will celebrate Grandparent's with our Goodies with Grands on Friday, the FBLA sponsored Fall Festival is next weekend, there is also Fall Field Day, the book fair, and we'll wrap up the month with Trunk or Treat and Halloween parties! Wowzers, we got lots happening!
Just a reminder, if you send in money for any reason please put in an envelope with your child's name, teacher's name, and what the money is for. It's quite the fiasco some mornings trying to chase down the who, what, and where of random bills!
Parent teacher conference sign ups should have been in your child's Friday folder. Please complete those and return to school. We hope for strong attendance at our Fall conferences as we believe a strong home and school relationship has a great impact on student success.
Book Fair
Goodies with Grands!!!!!

If your child is planning to stay after school for tryouts please communicate with the elementary office!
Flu Clinic
Recycling Drive
About 28% of water and soda bottles that are sold are recycled each year. This means we throw away 10 billion pounds of plastic bottles every year. This waste is one of the easiest wastes to eliminate. Use a reusable water bottle and if you use a non-reusable bottle, recycle it and remember to leave the cap on! Smithton has bottle receptacles for our students in several locations because Smithton Cares!
FALL FUN
A ton of Fun!
If you are interested in having a trunk please reach out to PTO.
