Smithfield Public Schools -

Great to see so many families joining us at @SmithfieldSchls today for the 3rd annual Summer STEAM Showcase featuring musical performances, an art gallery, robotics, movie making, & Brown U summer math program.

Students in the SPS STEM Camp at Brown are working with the Providence Animal Rescue League to collect data about people's pet preferences in order to improve placements. Please take a moment to complete this anonymous survey (note this is not an application to adopt). https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdyhzhq-021_8TqLNVgFf4aojpeQRmn4PJlsS0Dj3FP-XQ0Kw/viewform

Brown University’s Van Wickle Gates are only opened twice a year - once in the Fall for incoming students and again in the Spring for graduating students. In a few years maybe one of these students participating in SPS’ STEM Camp at Brown will pass through!

So proud of SHS student Tyler Guilfoyle! https://www.wpri.com/news/street-stories/smithfield-teen-helping-the-homeless-one-tomato-at-a-time/
