Smithville First Baptist Church will be starting a preschool in August.

Pastor Chad Ramsey said registration is underway for the new preschool which will begin on August 7.

“Its for kids from 18 months to pre-K age or the year leading up to kindergarten on Mondays and Wednesdays. Several preschools out there are operating on Tuesdays and Thursdays but we will do ours on Mondays and Wednesdays,” said Ramsey.

“We felt there was a need for more preschoolers in our community because several of those I talked to had waiting lists for their preschools. We believe the more kids who are getting that education and being prepped to go into kindergarten the better it is for them, their parents, and for educators alike”.

“One of the things I am excited about is the amount of experience our wonderful teachers have coming in. Many of them are educators in trade with degrees who want to work and do it for God. Everything we are going to do is focused on the kids. It’s centered on our Baptist beliefs and making sure these kids know their ABCs and know their Jesus,” said Ramsey.

“We still have openings in each of the classes. If you are interested contact the church or go to our website at www.smithvillefbc.org to get information about registration.

Local DeKalb Middle School student, Lillie Grace Young, placed third in the National Jr. Beta Performance Arts Dance category recently held in Louisville Kentucky. Lillie made her way to Nationals back in November of 2022 when she placed 2nd at the state level, which allowed her to move on to Nationals this summer. Lille performed early Saturday morning in preliminaries, competing against 33 other dancers from all different states. The top 3 dancers from preliminaries then moved on to finals and danced one more time Saturday night. Lillie clogged to a mixed version of “Rocky Top,” and “Party in the USA.” She was awarded third place Sunday morning.

Beta is a club that promotes academic achievement, character, service and leadership among elementary and secondary school students.

Mrs. Teresa Jones, the DMS Beta sponsor accompanied Lillie in her weekend festivities.

Lillie would like to thank Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Mary Ann Puckett for all their help in her preparations for the conference.
