Frisbee Champ Wows
Smith School Students and Parents
Students and parents were treated to a spinning
show on Tuesday, September 23 at Smith School when world
champion Frisbee thrower Gary Auerbach from the Spinning Bees
performed for the crowd. Thanks to an Artist in Residence grant
awarded to Physical Education teacher Kathy Miller, and funding
by the Foundation for West Hartford Public Schools, Auerbach is
spending two days teaching the history and aerodynamics of
frisbee, some basic skills, in addition to performing a variety
of tricks.
Students viewed Auerbach's collection of Frisbees, including a
red plastic disc, which a student had decorated with feathers in
an effort to make Auerbach's Frisbees fly better, and an
original tin plate from the Frisbie Pie Company of Bridgeport,
CT.

The use of the new buzzer
system at our school has caused a little confusion for
some parents. Even though
we have a buzzer on two
entrances, please note that we are still using the St.
James entrance to the school during the school day from
8:30 a.m. – 3:20 p.m. After school, feel free to enter
the building using the side/driveway entrance. The
second door, which has commonly been referred to as the WHEE entrance, is unlocked until
6:00 p.m. [Full
