Solar Eclipse Spirit Day is this Friday!
Calendar update: Due to the fact that we have had a mild winter, the District did not use all of its emergency days. The District will be closed on Friday, May 24th. This creates a 4 day weekend around Memorial Day.
Skylar Kellar (former Calvin U. Smith student) is the President of Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society at CCC. They recently held an early childhood book drive, and Skylar stopped by Smith to drop off book donations that will go directly to students! Principal Mrs. Wolfe said, "We are also working with them to schedule guest readers in our classrooms in late April!"
Thank you Skylar and Phi Theta Kappa!
Reminder, Monday, March 18th is a Conference Day, no school for students.

During the month of January, Miss Sue from the Southeast Steuben County Library has been visiting library classes at Calvin U. Smith and William E. Severn Elementary Schools to share upcoming winter programs and Winter Reading 2024 where students read to win using a Bookopoly board!
In the primary classes, Miss Sue is reading to students using different ways to share a story. She told stories while cutting a snowflake and another adding items to a felt board. With the older groups, she is providing book talks to encourage students to borrow books. This is such a fun time to visit the public library to check out books, make a craft, use the space maker and do STEM projects! Thanks, Miss Sue, for sharing your awesomeness with our students! Now let’s share our awesomeness with her by visiting our wonderful public library and joining in the fun at the Southeast Steuben County Library!

Thank you to Severn Elementary Librarian Mrs. Jennifer Taylor for this story!
