The Tennessee Titans Caravan is coming to Smithville Elementary School on Tuesday morning, May 8.
For 13 years the Titans, in partnership with Titans Radio, have made stops across Tennessee and into Kentucky and Alabama to communicate with fans at public stops and schools. The Caravan is scheduled for April 30-May 11, and it will include 50 stops (26 public, 24 schools).
SES Principal Dr. Bill Tanner made the announcement during Thursday night’s school board meeting. “On May 8, we’ve got the Tennessee Titans Caravan coming to visit and put on an educational program. They’ll be there at 8:30 a.m. and I’d like to invite everybody to come and be a part of that. They have a distinct schedule that they have sent me, minute by minute of what they’re going to be doing. It’ll last about forty five minutes to an hour. Some of the players, their mascots, and maybe some of the cheerleaders will come,” said Tanner
Meanwhile, Dr. Tanner mentioned other activities taking place at the school. “We’ve got a lot of stuff going on at Smithville Elementary. We’ve got spelling bees going on. One fun day toward the end of the year. We’ve got field trips planned. Next week we’ve got kindergarten testing on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and then on Thursday we’ve got an open house for the parents of the children who will be in kindergarten. Next year they (parents) can come in from 3:30 p.m. until 5:30 p.m. to visit with the teachers, me, and some of the other people who work at Smithville Elementary. Friday of next week we have pre-registration for the children who will be in kindergarten next year. April 26, 27, & 30 and maybe May 1 we’re going to be testing our second grade. The second grade is not required to take the TCAP test but we want to see where our children stand so we take a Stanford Achievement Test and they can use that information when they go to Northside Elementary School,” he said.
