SMITH 5K and Wellness Fair 

May 24, 2024 By Eastwick Press

Submitted by BCS Communications
The 8th Annual SMITH 5K and Berlin Middle/High School (BMHS) Wellness Fair Committee had beautiful weather on Saturday, May 18th. The morning was kicked off with 60 in-person runners and walkers taking part in the SMITH 5K.

SMITH 5K coordinator Mrs. Ariel Gilbert was able to add $2,180 to the Berlin SMITH Scholarship fund thanks to all the participants. The SMITH Scholarship will go to a graduating Berlin student who demonstrates the following qualities: Service-Merit-Integrity-Truth-Honor, in honor of Bob Smith, a Berlin Graduate.

Congratulations to John Greene (1st Place), Roddy Gardell (2nd Place), and Benjamin Cummings (3rd Place) for their strong race finishes.

Thank you Taconic Valley Soccer for holding your Saturday morning practices at BMHS in support of the event. Special shout out to Jodi Lawliss-Corrado of Metta Physical Therapy, PLLC, for bringing her Saturday morning exercise class to the event, keeping us all dancing for wellness throughout the day.Thank you BCSD PTO for sponsoring the bouncy house fun.

The BNL Booster Club in collaboration with the BCSD Community Partnership Committee held its first sports apparel and equipment exchange. It was a great start for an exciting program with the hope to offset the expenses of equipment and get more student-athletes in the game.

Congratulations to Elaine Smith, our first ever Salad Bowl Champion. Elaine knocked it out of the park with her delicious Tangy Chickpea Salad.

Operation SAFE CHILD representatives from the Rensselaer County Sheriff’s Office were able to connect with many local families to discuss their program, which you can learn more about at rensco.com/380/Operation-SAFE-CHILD.

SMITH 5K coordinator Mrs. Gilbert and Wellness Fair coordinator Mrs. Michele Corsey would like to send out a big thank you to all who helped make the day possible.
