Only 2 weeks left of school! As we wind down, there are few things end-of-year procedures that you need to know.
Please review Mr. Propst's message: Closing Guidelines for Swift Creek document.
At 2:00 today, several families will be at the school decorating the grounds for our teachers who are coming in to pack up supplies next week. We will be hanging signs and doing chalk art on the sidewalks and in the parking lots. You are welcome to join us.
We hope you have a great week! Please let us know if there is anything your family needs. We are here for each other! We are #BrighterTogether.

Do You Have Foil-Lined Pouches Or Squeezable Pouches to Recycle?
Megan Holler, our Recycling chair, has been working hard this year to promote recycling efforts in our community. When we were at school, the students had a special bin where to place foil-lined snack wrappers.
Now that we are home, Megan is still happy to collect these items. Just email her for more information at [email protected].
Or if you are stopping by the church on Friday for food donation drop off, Marie Dexter will pick them up from you then. (Or bring them when you pick up your child's school belongings in a couple of weeks. Be sure to label them Megan Holler!)
