Today marks the 80th Anniversary of the the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which marked the US entry into WWII.
Each year on December 7th, Pearl Harbor Survivors, veterans, and visitors from all over the world come together to honor and remember the 2,403 service members and civilians who were killed during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. A further 1,178 people were injured in the attack, which permanently sank two U.S. Navy battleships (the USS Arizona and the USS Utah) and destroyed 188 aircraft.

Last week at Smithton...Mrs. Carter’s 7th and 8th grade Art Club students created paintings to help the Commercial Club decorate for the community Winterfest that was held on Saturday evening. Our students are amazing artists!

Though we're so very sad to see Principal Norton retire at the end of this school year, we are also excited about the possibilities that lay ahead. Please share the Principal job posting information with anyone you feel has the qualifications necessary.

Before Thanksgiving, 7th Graders were learning about bacteria in Ms. Hedrick's Science class.
They swabbed bacteria from a dirty desk (side A on the Petri dish) and swabbed a sanitized desk for side B. Some sanitizers worked better than others. Our class winners were Clorox wipes and Norwex cloth.

Our Lunch Menu has been posted for December under Dining. It can also be found in the Virtual Backpack (under About Us) by clicking on December 2021.

1st Grade had their Thanksgiving Feast this week! Here are pictures from Mrs. Barschak's, Mrs. Lucash's & Mrs. Gerberding's Classes.

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.
