The PB Smith Friends of Smith (FOS) is a non-profit organization, made up entirely of volunteers, that partners with school administration and staff to support the school community. Through fundraisers such as Boosterthon and the Fall Car Show and Festival, we provide financial support to aid in the purchase of educational programs, technology, and any other needs identified by school administration. Additionally, we strive to provide support to teachers and staff in their crucial task of educating our children. Our goal is to establish strong connections between families and the school, to enhance the educational experience of our children."
