Principal's Message

Dear Swift-Slaybaugh Families,

This week we had the great honor of welcoming over 100 veterans to our school this week. On Thursday, Swift held its Veterans Day breakfast, and Slaybaugh's was on Friday. It was heartwarming to see the pride in the students' faces as their family members arrived to be celebrated. A big thank you to Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Willson, Mrs. Santoro, Ms. Webster, and Mrs. Ricci, who all played a big role in making these events possible. Thank you also to the EHTEA for funding these events through grants. Above all, thank you to all those who served, and continue to serve, our country. We appreciate your service more than words can express. I hope everyone has a nice weekend ahead!

Sincerely,
Rachel Casumpang

Family & Community Partnership

Extreme Science Assembly!

On Wednesday, the SSC Parents Club, in partnership with SSC Wings, had the pleasure of hosting the first assembly of the year. We welcomed, David Hagarman, the Science Wizard to our school. David was featured on "America's Got Talent" and is also a repeat performer at NASA. In the words of our students and staff, "It was the BEST day ever!" The students saw amazing science at work,
learned about science safety and procedures, and had a ton of laughs. Thank you so much again to our Parent's Club and Wings!
