Y.E. Smith Students' Big Day!

Fourteen students from Grades 3 - 5 enjoyed an experience they will remember for a lifetime!

These Y.E. Smith Elementary students had the opportunity to meet First Lady Michelle Obama as she landed at RDU Airport  Wednesday afternoon. Two students were deemed greeters and all had a chance to speak with Mrs. Obama. She answered questions about her children, her husband and her experience as the First Lady.

The students displayed their southern hospitality by providing her an open invitation to visit their school. Mrs. Obama appreciated the students taking the time to make her feel welcome and offered encouragement in their academic pursuits.
