Come Celebrate 100 Years!

Jason Reynolds had a death in the family and must postpone his visit to Smart. We currently have a tentative date scheduled on May 2nd for him to visit. More information will be posted when we know more.
Daily Schedule starting March 4th: School busses will run according to the new schedule, 10 minutes earlier and later.
Looking for something to do on Monday, Feb 18th? Since there is no school that day, you should head on down to Pizza Ranch between 5pm and 8pm and support our choir!
The choir is raising funds to attend competition in Chicago, IL later this year. All tips and 10% of proceeds go to support our choir. For more information about this event like the choir page @SmartChoirs or go to https://www.facebook.com/SmartChoirs/
On Wednesday, December 19th, every Smart student had the opportunity to “shop” for a brand new book to take home over winter break. Inspired by our students’ response to our One School, One Book initiative, teacher Michele Browne planted the idea. Soon, a group of teachers was furiously planning on a Friday night.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of friends, family, and even complete strangers, we collected 644 books in just 17 days! One donor wrote, “Reading is one of the most important skills for anyone and we are thrilled that such importance is placed on the skill at Smart.” Another donor said, “Books were always one of my favorite things to receive and I treasure the memories of reading those books with my mom.” It was a joy-filled experience we hope students carry with them. We are so grateful for our generous community. Read more
Back in December, the QC Women of Color Forum visited Smart to donate a copy of Patina by Jason Reynolds to our library. 7th Grader, Malia Rush, was chosen to be the first to read it and share her thoughts with the organization. In return, we were able to gift our visitors with a copy of Ghost. It was a wonderful visit and we can’t wait for them to join us back here on March 28th for Jason Reynolds’s visit to Smart. Thank you for your generous donation, ladies!
