Summertime!

Working at Swasey Central School in Brentwood is a great experience.  I enjoy each and every student and getting to know them.  We are looking forward to next school year.  I want to thank the parents and families for supporting our work here at SCS.  I want to thank the staff for their hard work and care when working with all of our children.

One of my 4th grade students took this picture of me...I'm wearing my Stormtrooper/Double Neck Flying V Gibson Electric guitar T-shirt...A student pleaser!

The last few days of school were fun.  We had our Grade 5 celebration and our school wide cookout and picnic...and this year..we started a tradition of Grade 5 students taking one last walk through the halls as all the staff and students clap for them...."A Clap Out"!

Our beautiful courtyard.  Thank you Sheila Lane, staff, students and families for keeping it so well maintained.

Have a great summer vacation!  

It's June!

Hello everyone!

The past few weeks have been busy and we are just one week away from the last day of school for this year.


I had a fantastic day playing my guitar on the Oregon Trail with my fourth graders.  I was the Trail Music station.

Students had a blast learning about the pioneer days.  They saw these two beauties pulling a cart!  

A big thank you goes out to our PFG for putting on the very popular End of the Year Celebration.  Students played musical chairs, bounced on the bouncy slide, and enjoyed sno-cones and watermelon.  Thank you families for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come and have fun.

The SCS staff was treated to an amazing luncheon.  Families sent in all sorts of food for the entire staff and we enjoyed a great lunch.

The 4th and 5th grade chorus  and our strings group performed last night, June 9.  They were fantastic. 

Next week is our Grade 5 celebration.  We will bid our fifth graders farewell with a great ceremony.

Thank you reader, thank you parents, staff and students.  Almost time for summer vacation...stay in touch...come by the office and visit...we'll be here!
