September 2025 marks our first full year!
In our search for something fun
& meaningful for our small-town kids,
we discovered Clubs—or maybe Clubs discovered us.
Today, SMA3RT is a community-led 501(c)(3) organization
offering Friday Clubs and SMA3RT Kidz events.
We Do Clubs!
This fall, we’re kicking off strong—with Clubs tailored by age group and interest, instead of last year’s one-size-fits-all model.
Each Club blends fun with real-world learning and academic skills.
In Detective Club
Clubbers will dive into Sherlock Holmes mystery books & unlock escape rooms.
In Entrepreneurial Academy
Kids will sharpen math skills by counting back change—and they may even sell at the Frostbite Festival.
In The Swan: Riverwalk Club
everyone will analyze river water under microscopes & build Aquaponic Kits
In Pickleball Club
Clubbers will play by mixing Lob Shots, Dink Shots, and Champion Shots with agility and strength.
In Babysitting Club
our Junior High kids will learn Children CPR, read to preschoolers at the library, and understand how messy and fun fingerpainting can be.
In Marching Band & Pep Team
our marchers will play new tunes, practice new twirling routines, and be pen-pals with their Griz Marching Band new friends.
In Journalism Club
our reporters will write articles for Valley Times, our Youth Pathfinder.
We long to hear on the last day of every Club . . . .
