🏳️‍🌈Hallways where you can be yourself. Classrooms where your voice matters. A community that has your back. 🫶

Happy ! 🌈 To our LGBTQ+ students, staff, and community: you belong here! ✨ Not just this month, but every single day of the school year. Thank you for making our district brighter, braver, and more complete just by being you. Together, let’s honor love, diversity, and acceptance this month as we remain committed to building an educational environment rooted in respect, kindness, and safety for everyone. 🤝

🤝Equity means teaching students to honor and celebrate the diverse world around them. Join us in cheering on our third-grade team as the final LOD award winners of the school year for creating an unforgettable, real-world lesson in global citizenship!🌍 Congrats to Melissa Capozza, Nora Colter, Racha Kobitary and Holcomb Mosley.

"Swigert was humbled to host our third Official Naturalization Ceremony for 18 new citizens from 10 different countries on Jan. 23. It is a culminating experience for our third graders as they finish their unit on immigration—understanding different reasons individuals and families immigrate to different countries—both historically and in the present day. The Honorable Judge Olympia Fay, past Swigert parent, presided over the ceremony along with a representative from the Denver field office. As a capstone event for our third-grade students, they brought in the flags representing the different countries, spoke during the ceremony, and sang "I am on my way to the Freedom Land." Congratulations to the new citizens and their families!"
