Do you want to help out in the community? Do you want to get a service-learning diploma? If you’re an IB student, do you need ideas for CAS hours? If so, then this is the perfect column for you! To get your hours done, here are some steps you should follow: Step 1: Do your research! There are many ways to get involved such as joining a club at Smith, or in the community. If you would like to start a service-learning project that is related to a class subject, ask your teacher about it! Step 2: Get Information! Talk to Ms. Donnell or visit the Service-Learning Board for ideas and help with planning. Talk to Mr. Nolan for CAS hour help. Ask your club advisor at Smith if hours will be given. Step 3: Join the club or organization and have fun! Step 4: Get everything done! Make sure all of the needed documents are signed to have your hours credited. (If you are in a club at Smith, you do not need to fill out any documents). Step 5: Reflect. The best thing about doing service is that what you do is beneficial to the community. What a week it has been!!!!! Only one day of school and that was an early release. After almost 2 inches of snow, lots of ice, and cancelled basketball tournaments, the School System announced the Make up Days. Do not listen what they put on Social media. The make up days do not include any Saturday School and only one day of Spring Break. They are as follows:
Friday, February 27th Friday, April 10th (Last Day of Spring Break) Friday, June 12th Monday June 15th (New Last Day of School) The Metro 4A Basketball Tournament has been cancelled due to the weather and the fact that basketball seeding for State Playoffs will still take place on Saturday.

Smith High is low on something. What could it be???? Ah-ha. SCHOOL SPIRIT. So here's something fun. Let's say you go to a basketball game or a band concert. Or let's say you're in class or at lunch. Let's also say that you so happen to take a picture while you're at these events. Well, take the selfie or groupie and Tweet It, Facebook It, or Instagram It with the hahtag: #EagleNation (That can be all caps. You're choice.) and show the county that we are the Golden Eagles. Plus, whop doesn't like taking picture. Speaking of pictures, Underclassmen picture are in. See Mrs. Christie or Mrs. Eason in the Media Center.
