 Pictured here is Mara Menard from the MAC room. She brought in her pennies for the "Every Penny Counts" campaign early this year. She knows that her money goes to the American Red Cross so they can help families in Livingston County. Mara wants to remind our students and families that Smith Elementary has always made this project a priority. This is a teachable moment for our students. Please consider having that conversation with your family. Smith Elementary will be collecting coins through the month of February.
