The library at Arthur H. Smith Elementary School will be open from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. every Wednesday, from June 21 through Aug. 2, so students can take advantage of the summer reading challenge.
Every year Smith students are challenged to read one million words during the school year, and the summer reading challenge gives them a chance to get a head start. Words read over the summer count toward their spring word total.
The library being open over the summer also gives students free access to high-quality books, magazines and helps students avoid the summer reading lapse. So please come down and visit us. Students are invited to enter the library through the courtyard.

This summer we're asking everyone with Grandview ties to show their pride.
Wherever you are this summer...Show Your Pride - Share Your Grandview Side!
We're asking people to pack their Grandview gear - hats, t-shirts, anything - when they go on vacation this year. Then take a picture in your Grandview gear, post it to social media and tag Grandview schools. We want to see how far we can go this summer.
You don't have any big summer travel plans...that's okay too. Show us what you're up to - out by the pool, eating popsicles on your front porch, hanging out with friends - we want to know.
Grandview schools can be found on Facebook @GSD200 and on Twitter and Instagram @TheGSD200.
So this summer be sure to Show Your Pride - Share Your Grandview Side!

The gradate walk takes place right after graduation practice. Seniors will be bussed back to their original elementary school to walk the halls and be cheered on by teachers and students ranging from preschoolers to fifth graders.
