The annual Color Run will take place on Saturday, May 3 at Deerfield Park beginning at 9 a.m. This is a wonderful family and community event to support students with special needs and to bring awareness. All are welcome. Flyers are also being sent to families from each of our schools for those who would like to register for the run/walk. This event is sponsored by SSELAC & supported by the Smithfield Public Schools.

Fabulous show by our talented SHS students. Mamma Mia! was a community favorite.
