The tradition continues! Team 7-1 "chalked the walk" today to give our 8th grade class a memorable send off!





Rain or shine, our Smith custodial staff is gearing up for tonight's Promotion Ceremony.


Attention Boys and Girls ages 7-12! The Homerun Derby will take place at Finch Park on Saturday, June 20! Please see the flier for more information about how you can register for this great event!

Thank you, Stephen Hill, for speaking to our 8th graders this afternoon! Mr. Hill started Speak Sobriety in 2016 where his primary focus as a speaker is youth prevention, early intervention, and promoting restorative practices. This was a great presentation that showed our students an inspiring comeback story.


These 8th graders are "all in" (or should we say out?) and enjoying the beautiful weather signing yearbooks! Only one more sleep until the Smith School Promotion Ceremony! 👍🏻💙💛🫶


Smith is sending a big thank you to our RHS coaches and athletes for spending time with our 8th graders today! Though nervous, they are excited for what lies ahead! Shout out to these Champions that were all smiles! Go Rams!

It is our favorite week of the year! Spirit days leading up to the last day of school are the best way to celebrate summer and say goodbye to Smith School for July and August! Take a look at the information to see how you can participate in our June Spirit Week (15-19)!

The 8th Grade French students spent a lovely afternoon at Brasserie Mémère, dining on French delicacies like croque monsieur and crème brûlée!

Eighth graders taking Spanish this year, had the best lunch at Segovia Tavern this afternoon. We hope you are bringing home leftovers!



Where there is a teen, you will find a Dave & Buster! These eighth graders in NJ & D.C. are having the best time with new and old friends! 🫶 See you all soon! Safe travels!






On Wednesdays, we stop on the United State Capitol Building's steps and smile!

While classmates are in D.C., these lucky Smith students get to visit the NYC Intrepid Museum today! Have the best time! Love your smiles! 😊

These kids and our Smith staff are ready for a day of exploration and discovery as they have a jammed-packed day in Washington! Can't wait for more updates later!


Come out and support our RPEF tomorrow! From 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., visit Anthony's Coal Fired Pizza & Wings, where 20 percent of all proceeds will go back to our educational community. Don't forget to mention RPEF! Go Rams!

Smith's 8th graders are living their best (night) life! What a beautiful night in D.C. 💙💛



Our eighth graders are having a great time this week! Whether they are heading down to D.C. or bowling with friends, Smith students are ending their time at the middle school making core memories! 🫶



Friday afternoon Smith's 8th graders presented their Defenses of Learning to panelists comprised of teachers, administrators and board of education community members. This day culminates their learning over the past few months about a topic they are passionate about. Through this experience, friendships were formed and relationships strengthened. Students learned that they can do hard things and that nothing is off limits if they put their mind to it. Great job, Grade 8! We are so proud of you and all of your hard work!










Last night, several 8th graders were recognized for their achievements at the Eighth Grade Recognition Ceremony. It was a special night to highlight their achievements! A complete list of honorees will be in Dr. Esdale's upcoming newsletter that will hit your inbox tomorrow afternoon! Stay tuned. Congratulations to all!







Finishing today with the last leg of the Ram Jam school tour! Smith School is lucky to hear their talent first-hand! 💛💙

Yesterday, Dater's 5th graders had the opportunity to tour Smith's facilities with our RAMbassadors. Here, they were able to see what our classes look and sound like as well as ask questions. Seeing Smith firsthand is a great way to ease the butterflies in our incoming 6th graders' stomachs and to show them that our middle school is RAMtastic! See you in the hallways this September, 5th graders!
