In our last CrossTie article, you were introduced to the diversity of our school. In this edition of CrossTie, we thought you should meet some of our students! There are always ways for you to plug in with our Weekday School. If you are interested in volunteering with us, please let us know. You can contact us at srbweekday@smokerisebaptist.org. You would get to spend time with awesome students, just like the ones interviewed below!
Registration for the 2023-2024 school year is now open. Help us spread the word! We would love to see our school grow as we prepare to celebrate our 50th anniversary in September. Stay tuned for more information about the upcoming celebration!
