Exploring Future Careers in Health Care! 🩺
Last week, Smithton students attended the Tomorrow’s Health Care Experts Expo presented by MU Health Care! It was a fun and interactive day filled with hands-on demonstrations in areas like nursing, radiology, respiratory therapy, emergency medicine, surgery, and more.
Students had the chance to talk with professionals, try out real equipment, and get a closer look at the many career paths available in the medical field.
A big thank-you to MU Health Care for hosting such a great learning experience for our future health care professionals! 👏💙

Hey there Elementary Families,
We plan to open the doors at 1:40 today for parents to enter. This year we will have our parade go through the entire building not just the elementary. Please spread out through the building so we aren't as crammed into the elementary halls. If you plan to stay past dismissal for the fall festival please do not park on Coombs street as we will need to dismiss car riders. We look forward to seeing everyone and hope you plan to stay for the fall festival after school.
