It’s teacher appreciation week, and we’ve been reading through your wonderful messages for and about our teachers. Check out this one for Kevin Wasinger at Oscar Smith High:
“When my kids come home, your name is one of the first they mention, often with excitement and stories about what they learned. That speaks volumes about the impact you’re having. You are clearly making a meaningful difference in their lives, and I am so grateful that you get to be a part of their journey.” - A Parent

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to the hardest working teachers in the business. We know you appreciate them every day, but please take a moment to let the teachers know how grateful we are this week!!
This past weekend Justin Goffney, Megan Holden, & Elizabeth Ying wonderfully represented Smith Richmond, VA at the 2026 All-Virginia Band, Chorus, and Orchestra Event. Their hard work and excellence in music allowed them to participate in this event!!
