Swallow Union Update
Week of May 29th, 2023
This was a fast four days of school and the beautiful weather has us gearing up for the summer months ahead. With only ten days of school to go once we return on Monday, we are looking forward to ending the school year with laughter, fun and friendships, and plenty of new memories! Wishing the Class of 2023 a wonderful graduation ceremony this evening and much success as they enter into a new chapter of their lives!
Highlights from This Week
Our middle school instrument program was highlighted when they met with our 4th grade students on Thursday to give an instrument demonstration to get them thinking about middle school band!
Grade 4 Move Up Day
Today our 4th graders visited GDRMS where they were greeted by positive messages written in chalk along the sidewalks of the middle school! They began by meeting in the Performing Arts Center (PAC) where they were greeted by Ms. Salvatore, Principal and Mr. Day, Assistant Principal along with a few of the 5th grade teachers. Shortly after that, each class had the opportunity to spend time in the 5th grade classrooms where the current 5th graders had made their own game boards and our students got to choose which ones they wished to play. They also were given peer led small group tours of the 5th grade wing and main areas of the school building. The positive energy and interactions with all the students and staff was wonderful!

LOOKING FOR A HOST FAMILY
