I hope that everyone has a terrific summer. I look forward to seeing you when we return to school next year.
Next year will be my 20th year teaching at South Smithfield Elementary School and my 24th year in Johnston County Schools. I grew up in Smithfield and attended South Smithfield as a child.
Besides teaching PE, I am also the Broadcast Team and Yearbook sponsor as well as helping with school pictures. I will have office hours this year from 9:35-10:20 if anyone has any needs to contact me.
I am looking forward to working with all of the wonderful children at South Smithfield this year!!!
Mr. Walsh
