Updated: This weeks Events!

Hi all, On April 20 Smithton hosts the Kaysinger Conference Middle School Music Contest. This is an excellent learning experience for the students and a great fundraiser for our music department. It is a large event and it takes many people to make it successful. We have many opportunities for people to help. Most are divided into shifts of about two hours, so you are not committing your entire Saturday. Please click on the link and sign up for a shift or two if you can. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/4090E4DA4AD2DA1FF2-47592240-msmusic#/ Also, we will be asking for food donations for the concession stand. This is how we make money from the event so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. If you have questions, please contact Mrs. Bird or Mrs. Greene. Thanks!
