Smithton 7th graders made "Thank You" cards for veterans last week. Many of the students made cards for veterans in their families. Those students that did not have a veteran to give their cards to on Veterans Day made cards for local community veterans. These veterans received the cards at a special luncheon at the Smithton Catholic War Veterans Post 370 on Veterans Day.

Today is World Kindness Day. Take some time to be extra kind to others.

6th Graders went on a field trip to Meramec Caverns today. Here are some pictures from their adventure!

Introducing our Camp Invention 2022 program, Explore! This will be our 9th year hosting this 1 week summer program! Registration: https://invent-web.ungerboeck.com/programsearch/moreinfo.aspx?event=36857 Give your young innovator an unforgettable adventure! All-new, hands-on activities will launch their imagination and get their confidence soaring as they explore STEM fun from the oceans to outer space. Read more about what your camper will do each day at camp: PROBLEM SOLVING Campers create a habitat for their own robotic fish — complete with a symbiotic friend — and prototype the next great aquatic innovation to lure in and hook investors at the fish market. CONFIDENCE Inspired by real space exploration, children construct a Spacepack, engineer an Astro-Arm device, complete gravity-defying cooking challenges, mine asteroids and observe erupting ice volcanoes. CREATIVITY Making exciting connections between science and art, campers build their own robotic artist to make awesome spin art and discover how inventions have changed the way people create. PERSISTENCE Children experiment with the fun of physics and engineering when they build and test their own mega marble arcade, then take on collaborative challenges to level up their design thinking.

Thanks for all you do Mrs. Norton!
