Hello Vikings! Welcome back! Volleyball will be our first sport this year and we couldn’t be more excited! This year we welcome any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade girls interested in volleyball to come tryout. Tryouts will be held after school on Tuesday August 27th, 3:00pm-4:30pm. Please wear gym attire with gym shoes. All student athletes interested in trying out must have a physical turned in to the main office before tryouts on Tuesday. I know tryouts can be scary for some, but do your best and forget the rest! Come ready to work hard and compete! I can not tell you how excited we are for this upcoming season!”
If you have any questions please contact Coach Wellman or Coach Ulfers

Looking for some easy ways to support the PTSA over summer break? Listed below are three simple ways to do so that require little effort!
Easy Ways to Support the PTSA!
Amazon Smile!
Amazon donates 0.5% of the price of your eligible purchases to the PTSA when you shop

Kroger Community Rewards!
Did you know you can support the O.L. Smith PTSA just by shopping at Kroger?
It’s easy when you enroll in Kroger Community Rewards®! To get started, sign up with your Plus Card and search for Smith Middle School. Once you’re enrolled, you’ll earn rewards for our PTSA every time you shop and use your Plus Card!
Shoparoo!
Forget cutting labels or selling door to door to raise money for schools. Shoparoo is a free app for iOS and Android phones that allows anyone to take pictures of their shopping receipts and earn cash donations for their schools!
Just snap a picture of your grocery receipt on your smartphone, and voila, you’ve made an instant cash donation! You can also take pictures of your non-grocery receipts (from clothing stores, electronics stores, restaurants, home improvement stores, etc.) for entries into Shoparoo’s cash donation sweepstakes that can reward a school up to $15,000!

We need distance runners, sprinters, long jumpers, high jumpers, and shot put. If one of these interests you, I look forward to seeing you out on the track!
Our first day of practices will be Tuesday April 9th right after school. (Tryouts will take place this day)
THERE WILL BE A SIGN UP SHEET OUTSIDE MY CLASSROOM (RM 11)

Must meet the following requirements:
–Updated physical form turned into the office, you can not participate without one
