Our next meeting will be Friday, April 12 during the lunch period. If your child would like to attend, please have them report to the library right at 11:40 a.m. to stay for the entire lunch period. If they are buying their lunch, they can go to the cafeteria right away to get their lunch tray and bring it up to the library.
Please contact Ashley O'Hara or Jamie Carter if you have any questions or to find out more about how your Smith student can participate.
