The reviews are in! Our annual talent show, Smith’s Got Talent, was a smashing success. Both shows were standing room only. Not only did the kids show their talents but we got a special performance from the Smith faculty who joined in the fun, a huge thank you to Mrs. Lucido and Mr. Goodell for directing the shows. Thank you to all the parent volunteers who helped with the concession stand-sales. We are in search of a new chairperson for the talent show. Please reach out to the Smith PTA presidents if you are interested in helping to continue the show next year!
