Swanson families-
Do you know of a former Swanson Elementary student graduating from high school this year? We would like to invite these seniors to come do a walkthrough on Wednesday, May 13th, at 2:30pm.
Seniors are invited to walk the halls, share some cookies, and look at old yearbook photos from their Swanson era!
Please pass this information on to any former squirrels! 🐿️ ❤️

We are so lucky to have such a fun, caring, and dedicated staff at Swanson who go above and beyond every day to make school a place where students thrive! This week is a special opportunity to recognize their hard work and make sure their efforts don’t go unnoticed.

Yesterday we celebrated Principal Appreciation Day a day early! Parents honked as they dropped off their students, students helped place photos of Mrs. Marchini ALL over the school and Mrs. Marchini was a great sport with our video shenanigans. 😂 She is truly the BEST and we appreciate all she does for Swanson Elementary! Happy Principals Day, Mrs. Marchini! 🫶🏻🎉🐿️❤️

Our Fourth Quarter Culture of Belonging event for families was a great success! We hosted lunch with a loved one for all grade levels last week and it was wonderful to see so many families come to share a meal with their child. Thank you Swanson families and our community partners that joined this event!
