Today on National Coaches Day we say thank you to all of our Smithton coaches who inspire our students regularly and work hard to help our students be the best that they can be!
Mrs. Carter's 2nd grade art class worked hard to finish their paper mache animal masks yesterday! They paper mached balloons, added ears, horns, etc., and then painted! They turned out great!

October is AAC Awareness Month! Mrs. Morra, our amazing Speech Language Pathologist, reminds us that everyone deserves a voice with her amazing bulletin board!
AAC stands for Augmentative and Alternative Communication, which are ways people use to communicate besides talking; typically when someone is unable to speak or hard to understand. However, we ALL use AAC when we type, text, write & gesture!

We can't say it better than the US Department of Education, "Principals set the tone for the entire school community with strong leadership, school spirit, and care for students, teachers, staff, & families. We celebrate you for everything you do! #NationalPrincipalsMonth" Thank you Mrs. Belosi!
Girls on the run this weekend!
On Friday Mother Goose visited Pre-K for their Nursery Rhyme Party! Each student took turns reciting their own nursery rhyme from memory - earning themselves a badge into the Mother Goose Club! Then Mother Goose led the class outdoors to play silly games! There was the Itsy Bitsy Spider chase, Humpty Dumpty Egg Race and Egg Toss, a Jack Be Nimble jumping contest and the Jack and Jill Water Bucket races! When we came inside, Mother Goose had left us some muffins from Little Miss Muffet, and cheese sticks from the Hickory Dickory Doc mice!
