Dear Swift-Slaybaugh Families,

It was so nice to see so many of you at our Sweetheart Dances this past weekend. Our K-1 families certainly braved the elements on one of the coldest nights of the year! We hope everyone enjoyed their time celebrating with their "sweethearts."

A big thank you to our Swift librarian, Ms. DeNaples, for putting together a special opportunity for our first grade students. On Thursday, both during the day at assemblies, and at night with their families, the students had a chance to meet Andi Green, author of the Worry Woos books. Her visit was educational and fun was had by all.

Just a friendly reminder that school will be closed on Monday in observance of President's Day. We will see the students back here on Tuesday. Enjoy the weekend!

Sincerely,

Rachel Casumpang

Principal

This calendar reflects the snow days.

Congratulations to Mrs. Zaccagnino's and Mrs. Bralski's classes. They read the most minutes in school for the month of December. Winter is a great time to cuddle up with a good book in school AND at home!

The top readers for December are Ella Fishbein in 2nd Grade and Adronicus Luminding in 3rd grade.  Congratulations to both students for being WILD about reading!  Remember, at home reading can be done by students, with students, or to students. ALL reading counts!!!

Love is in the Air in Room 4! Check out the creative Valentine's Day mailboxes that Mrs. Huba's second grade class made!

The "Jr. Communications Academy" and "Girls Who Code" have been working on creating magazine covers that highlight important figures in black history for the "Canva Black History Magazine Cover Contest."

Our first grader students enjoyed a visit from Andi Green, author of the Worry Woos books. She discussed the process of writing a book and even showed the students how she illustrates the characters in her books. Students had the opportunity to come back at night with their families to meet Ms. Green and participate in some fun activities.
