My intention was to get this email out closer to July 1, but this cougar has been enjoying some summer hibernation! ;-)
But with July 1 comes a new PTA year, so it is time to start planning for a great 2021-22 school year. We don't know what events and activities will be allowed next year but we hope to return as much to normal as possible.
Are you missing your Swifty friends? Or are you new to our community? Join us for one of our many Swift Creek play dates. To help with planning, we ask that you RSVP at http://tinyurl.com/scesPlay21 but obviously if you decide to come at the last minute, you are welcome to join us! Share this invite with your friends as well.
Hope to see you on Sunday!
Marie, Deb, Sarah, Dana, Lauren
Upcoming Play Dates!
A few things to note:
- We ask that folks RSVP because we planning to provide popsicles. RSVP at http://tinyurl.com/scesPlay21
- We do not have access to any bathrooms from the playground. (Sorry!)
- The whole family (including older and younger siblings) are welcome.
WElcome Back Our Amazing Staff!
Join us with your signs or sidewalk chalk on Sunday, August 15 at 4:00pm (weather permitting). We will decorate the school grounds so the staff feel welcomed when they return on Tuesday, August 17. For extra fun, come dressed as your favorite super hero!
If you cannot make the event but are interested in creating a sign, contact Marie Dexter at [email protected] for pick up. Closer to Aug 15, we will probably know the school theme for the year (for example, last year was Soaring to New Heights) but if you want to make signs now, I think calling our staff superheroes is pretty safe. ;-)
