Thank you to everyone that participated in the fundraiser. Smith PTA received $275 due to your support. This money will be used for upcoming events like Teachers appreciation week and Field day

The Book Fair starts TOMORROW! Sadly, due to the snow days, there will be no opportunity for separate viewing days.

Don’t forget to account for tax when you decide how much money to give your child to spend. eWallets are the easiest way for your child to shop so they don’t have to carry cash. Load an eWallet for your child here:

Do you need some holiday gift ideas for your kids or their teachers? Pick up some Smith merch today! These matching hoodies on one of our board members and her daughter are SO soft! The quality is excellent, and sure to be a hit for everyone on your holiday gift list!

If you order directly from the vendor's website (link below), they will ship directly to you! A portion of the sale is donated to the PTA, which directly benefits your child so that we can continue to sponsor and plan amazing events at Smith. https://www.etzadistro.com/Smith-Magnet-School-Elementary-c187344002

Our Fall book fair starts next week! In previous years, the school received special funds to help students in need to shop the book fair with their classmates. That funding went away earlier this year. For the Spring book fair, we raised enough money to sponsor more than 25 kids at the book fair! We would love your support to do this again during the Fall book fair. Please consider donating to sponsor a student and help further our kids' love of reading! Any amount is appreciated! Donations will be accepted through Monday, December 8th at 9 pm.
