Violetta G. is an active member of the 7th Grade Smith Chorus. In early February, she auditioned for and was accepted into the 2026 North Jersey Region 1 Choir! This is not an easy task as over 200 students from ALL of Northern New Jersey in grades 7-9 also auditioned. She will sing the Alto part as Rehearsals began in early March leading up to a performance on Sunday, March 22.

Students in SeΓ±ora Stokesβ 7th grade Spanish classes made friendship bracelets as a part of their unit on Love and Friendship. These tokens of affection and loyalty symbolize a long-lasting unbreakable bond between friends!










Team 7-1 immersed themselves into arguments this week! During this time, student practiced clearly communicating their claims and backing it up with reasons and reasoning. We can't wait to see how the rest of the unit unfolds!

March is a busy month at Smith School! Let's kick off the weekend with a Blue and Gold Day on Friday, March 6! Deck yourself out in your best Ramsey Ram pride colors!

Smith's 8th graders worked on their mobility, balance, and muscular endurance in today's Fitness class! Great job! Also, a special shout-out goes the this month's Fitness Stars! Keep up the hard work!



Mrs. Kelly's homeroom started their Friday with a sweet treat as they celebrated coming in 3rd place in Smith's Souper Bowl Food Drive Challenge. Great job, sixth graders! You are helping a lot of people through your generous contributions.

Smith's 6th and 7th grade French classes recently learned all about Mardi Gras and its cultural traditions. Students worked in groups during a readerβs theater workshop and performed skits for their classmates. They created themed Mardi Gras floats out of shoeboxes for a class parade and voted on creativity and theme. Students also enjoyed a delicious King Cake and made masks. A fun time was had by all!




Just because it is snowing outside, doesn't mean that our Smith students aren't busy preparing for spring inside! Recently, our Environmental Club members began the process of getting their baby plants ready for the annual plant sale (details to follow). Now, if we could just get rid of the snow!
Sixth graders hit the ground running today and explored their literary options in the library! Mrs. Murphy was able to help her students locate books of interest!

π Thank you to the cast of "Mean Girls" for showcasing songs from the RHS Spring Musical. We look forward to seeing the full show! What a great way to end our week and kick off our break! π

Smith's Talina, Sim, Kayla, Ophelia and Jesse traveled to Hubbard School today to present the instruments of "Peter and the Wolf" to the 1st graders. The 1st graders were so excited and asked amazing questions about the instruments and how they are performed. Our students represented themselves and our school so well (and played well, too!). Thanks for hosting us, Hubbard! Go Rams!

Who said math can't be fun and games? π Yesterday, Mrs Kubastaβs fourth period math class played an intense game of βProportional or Not Proportional." Good job, Period 4!

Seventh grade science students are becoming masters at creating slides and using microscopes to view different specimen. After the break, students will continue to use microscopes to better understand what is going on inside their body...they will observe their own cheek and skin cells! π¬π§«
