Dear SWS Community,
A big thank you to the PTO for celebrating our teachers and staff during Teacher Appreciation week at SWS! From the yogurt buffet and bagel breakfast to the afternoon snacks and yummy cookies, thank you. Faculty and staff thoroughly enjoyed the end-of-week luncheon—thank you for spoiling us for the week!
Next week is the last week to bring in shoes for our Community Cares shoe drive.
Join us for our school-wide Spirit Day on Friday, May 24th, where we celebrate our patriotic colors! We invite your children and our entire community to dress in their finest red, white, and blue attire.
Moreover, we extend a special invitation to participate in the Red, White, and Blue Fund Drive organized by the Sandyston Walpack Education Association. This initiative aims to support our esteemed military veterans, dedicated first responders, and their families. Refer to the attached flyer for further details on how you can contribute to this noble cause. Together, let's honor those who serve our nation with courage and dedication.
