W.L. Swain Elementary Pre-K students are learning through play and creativity!

Mrs. Byrd and her paraprofessional, Mrs. Christy, worked with students in stations as they explored different ways to build, create, and play together. These activities support early learning standards while helping students practice social skills together.

W.L. Swain Elementary kindergarten students are off to a great start in Ms. Kretzschmar’s classroom.

Ms. K, as she is affectionately known by her students, taught in small groups while introducing the first kindergarten standards of the school year. These early moments help students build confidence, learn routines, and begin developing the skills they will use all year long.

It was a wonderful start for our youngest learners at WLS!

W.L. Swain Elementary started the year with a focus on relationships, teamwork, and creating a strong classroom community.

Mrs. Woods talked with students about how their class is like a family, and students wrote their own family promises for the school year. Their promises focused on working together, building strong relationships, learning, growing, and helping others.

It was a meaningful way to set the tone for a great year of connection and success.
