Smithville Elementary students and families enjoyed a math and science themed Winter Wonderland family engagement night on Thursday, December 2. The building was decorated with a winter theme, and winter themed student work also lined the walls. There were a variety of activities for the families to participate in, as well as pictures with Santa sponsored by the PTO. The event ended with an exciting show by the Science Guy.
Students entered the arctic to measure different arctic animals and objects, and they were able to go ice fishing for math facts. There was an ornament making station, several dice and card games to play, and also shape building with snowballs (mini marshmallows) as well. Students were able to make guesses at the Estimation Station, with the closest guess in several categories winning a prize.
Smithville Elementary would like to thank the following businesses for their donation of prizes and gifts for students: Wilson Bank & Trust, Liberty State Bank, First Bank, Dollar Tree, Food Lion, 615 Threads Boutique, Four Seasons Boutique, Just a Little Southern Charm, and Button Willow. Appreciation also goes out to Mykaela Young, with MRYoung Designs for painting a winter scene on the front entrance of the school to welcome the students and their families into the building.
