Thank you for your support!


A HUGE thank you to all of our Smith families for supporting our Boosterthon Fun Run!

What an incredible week it has been! From the daily character-building lessons to the excitement of Fun Run day, our students had such a fun and memorable experience. The energy, school spirit, and encouragement from our families made this week extra special.

We are thrilled to share that we met our fundraising goal thanks to your amazing support! Your generosity will directly help continue the wonderful programs and experiences that make Smith such a special place for our students.

And yes… that means the students officially earned the chance to watch me get slimed! I can’t wait to celebrate this with them. It is going to be so much fun!

Thank you again for your partnership, enthusiasm, and for always showing up for our Smith Surfers. We are so grateful for this amazing community.
