April happenings!

Students and staff at Swasey enjoyed the week-long themed days leading up to our vacation.  We dressed as twins, wore crazy hair and hats, put on our sports themed jerseys, wore our SCS yellow and blue, and on Friday we signed each other's white t-shirts with Sharpies!








We also enjoyed the Jump for Heart activities on the playground...Thanks to all that participated and made it so enjoyable.

April has been Poetry month!  Students carried a poem in their pocket on Thursday and each grade level is learning a poem for our Shindig!  

In May, students will once again have an opportunity to sign up for Enrichment Activities!  Information was sent home in the monthly Family Newsletter!

Shades are being installed in the SCS gym!  We're just doing one corner at a time....but this will be in place for the annual Grade 5 Celebration evening scheduled for Monday, June 16th.  No more being blinded by the bright afternoon sun from the back windows!

I enjoyed visiting our 5th graders at Sargent Camp at the beginning of the month.  I took this photo right before I braved the rickety ladder, leading to the Stairway to Heaven, so I could zip-line down!  No worries,...all students...and principals....were safely harnessed and trained prior to heading onto the Rope Course!

April was also the basketball game!  SAU 16 Superstars vs Harlem Wizards!  

Until next time....

Swasey Swinging Stars!

Each year, students at Swasey are invited to participate in Jump Rope Club.  Students of all ages come together to work on their jump rope skills and learn new routines set to music.  The big Jump Rope Show that occurs each year at the beginning of April is fun for all and well attended by families.  Congratulation to Mrs. Lane and her team of SCS staff that put this together for our students.  We enjoyed the school presentation that was performed on Friday, April 4th.
