Smith Shout Out

Volume 1, Issue 1 October 2013

Welcome Back
We have had a wonderful start to the new year. Thank you for all of your help and support at home to make the beginning of the year go so smooth. We have several opportunities for you to volunteer and be involved at Smith. Be sure you fill out the volunteer form and send it back with your student. We have sent home forms for Spirit wear so be sure you send it back so we can get yours ordered so you can wear it on Spirit Days with jeans. The Book Fair was a great success. Thank you so much for all your help and supporting the school. We have several other exciting events coming. On October th 18 , it is Smith Spirit Night at the North Forney High School games. Be sure you watch for teachers emails to give you the specific information. On Saturday from 3 to 6, we will have our Second Annual Smith Fall Carnival. We had such a great time last year and I am really looking forward to it this year. Be sure you like us on Facebook for all the latest news! Dr. Pennington October 14

Note from Ms. Black

The KC club will be meeting October 22. Please check with your child after this Monday to see if they were selected. Guidance lessons for the month of October focus on antibullying. Rachels challenge has kicked off and students are earning paper links for their acts of kindness. We will keep you updated as to which class has the most links. Red Ribbon week is the last week in October. Be watching in your class newsletters for our special activities that week. Thank you, Linda Black

Santa Stroll
Be sure you have turned in your Santa Stroll registration to Coach Moore. We will be participating in the Santa Stroll 5K walk/run in Kaufman County. This walk/run will benefit the Kaufman County Childrens Shelter. Check us out on Facebook for more details.

Note from the Nurse

Please remember to use the following guidelines when deciding whether or not your student may return to school when sick: -Your student must be fever free (less than 100.0) for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen. -Your student should remain home from school if they have had 2 or more episodes of diarrhea and/or vomiting within the past 24 hours. -Your student should remain home from school if your student has had any combination of the following in the past 24 hours. (Fever, diarrhea, or vomiting.) Please remember to bring a doctors note if your child is diagnosed with an illness that says when your student may return to school. Hand washing is still the easiest way to prevent the spread of germs! Thank you in helping us keep all of our Smith Sharks healthy!!
