Smithville Elementary held its annual school-wide Fun Day on Friday, May 14, where SES students enjoyed a day full of special activities and treats. Also on Friday, SES was presented with an unexpected and generous donation from community members and SES families to help make the Fun Day even more amazing for SES students. “Lack of fundraising opportunities for our school has been one of the many struggles we have faced since the pandemic began in 2020. The surprise donations that were gifted to our school contributed to a very successful day for our students! With the generous donations that were received, every student in our school received a snow cone from Central Ice Shack, participated in fun and exciting activities, and enjoyed an interactive presentation from ‘The Science Guy.’ The outpouring of support and love from our community is a true testament to the heart of the people of DeKalb County and on behalf of the faculty, staff, and students of Smithville Elementary, we are very grateful to be part of such an amazing community and would like to say THANK YOU for supporting our Wildcats!,” said Principal Summer Cantrell.
SES would like to recognize the following people for their contributions to school-wide Fun Day: SES Faculty and Staff, Central Ice Shack, Mr. Richie The Science Guy, and Trent Colwell with DJ T Entertains for donating his time, supplies, expertise and equipment for the dance party.
