SMS Weekly Act of Kindness!

As we kick off the 2026–2027 school year, we're starting with one simple goal: help everyone feel like they belong.

This Week's Challenge:
Make a classmate feel welcome. Introduce yourself to someone new, invite someone to join you, or simply share a smile and a friendly hello.

Small acts of kindness make a big difference and help create the positive school culture we all want to be a part of.

Let's start the year by showing what it means to be Maroon Strong—because at Swain Middle School, kindness is where it all begins.

Stand Together. Lift Others. Be Kind.
