Yesterday, our Sweetwater family came together in unity to observe the 25th anniversary of Patriot Day.

Through age-appropriate lessons, our students put Leader in Me habits into practice—showing Synergy and taking time to Seek First to Understand the history of Sept. 11, 2001. By honoring the courage of our heroes and learning from this milestone year, they demonstrated true leadership and character.

We are proud of our students for keeping the memory of 9/11 alive. Together, we remember.

Here is a glimpse of the incredible learning and growth happening across our classrooms:

Expressing Every Voice: In Mrs. Smith-Hill's room, students used functional language models on AAC devices to talk about ordering, preparing, and describing food, proving that everyone has a voice and a seat at the table.

Synergy in Action: Ms. Stallman's 7th-grade Leadership class paid a visit to Ms. Doster's 1st-grade classroom. Seeing our older students mentor and encourage our younger learners is true Synergy at work!

Putting First Things First & Being Proactive: Students in Mrs. Hughes’ 1st-grade room were proactively taking charge of their learning, Putting First Things First as they practiced their reading skills during literacy centers.

When we Begin with the End in Mind, moments like these show just how bright our students' futures are. Keep Leading the way, Mustangs!

Recently, we held our annual Leader In Me Kick-Off assemblies. Sweetwater Middle School Choir started our assemblies with the National Anthem.
Then, our leaders participated with Mr. Kester in the 7 Habits dance. Ms. McMacken and Mrs. Corrales shared students' favorite Habits and how they use them. We look forward to seeing all our leaders demonstrate their Habits this year!

☀️ Sweetwater Campus Summer Updates! 🏫✨

The halls may have been quiet, but our campus has been a hub of activity this summer! We’ve been busy working behind the scenes to get everything shining and ready for our students' return.

Here is a quick look at what’s new and some incredibly important thank-yous we want to share:

🎨 Fresh Look, Fresh Start

Our campus received a major facelift over the break! Walking through the halls, you'll notice:

* Brand-new carpeting throughout key learning areas.
* A vibrant, fresh coat of paint to brighten up our classrooms and hallways.

A Massive Thank You to Our Voters! 🗳️ These beautiful upgrades are made possible directly because of your continued support. Thank you for approving the previous bonds and overrides that allow us to keep our facilities safe and beautiful for our students.

🎖️ Spotlight on Service: Moon Valley High School NJROTC

We also want to extend a huge, heartfelt shoutout to the incredible cadets of the Moon Valley High School NJROTC!

These dedicated students stepped up multiple times this summer to assist hands-on with our campus beautification projects. Whether they were lifting, organizing, or putting the finishing touches on our outdoor spaces, their work ethic was inspiring.

* To the Cadets: Your help, energy, and dedication this summer were absolutely invaluable. Thank you for showing up for our community and leading by example! 👏

We can't wait to welcome everyone back to see the refreshed Sweetwater campus in person! Enjoy the rest of your summer! 💙
