Greetings Vikings,
Kudos to our 8th Graders, who did a phenomenal job on PSAT Testing this past week. MSTEP testing for all students begins next week. We are excited to show off all that our student have learned.
Next week OL Smith celebrates Autism Awareness Month with our Spirit Week and Autism Awareness walk. All Vikings make Smith the wonderful place it is. Next week during lunches the NJHS will be selling baked goods to raise money for our Dearborn Schools Special Education PTA. We look forward to celebrating.
Finally, it was a joy to see so many OL Smith Teachers nominated for the Muirhead Teacher of the Year Awards. We are grateful to our students that took the time to add “extra writing” to their plate in writing essays to nominate their teachers.
We wish a blessed and happy Easter to all of our Vikings celebrating!
It is a full and exciting week ahead:
