Swallow Union Elementary School

Mrs. Murphy’s third graders are spending time with their Reading Buddies with Mrs. Lattini’s kindergarteners this week! 📚✨ Our older students love taking on the role of mentors, while the kindergarteners enjoyed listening to stories and sharing books together. A wonderful partnership in building both literacy and community!

Welcome Back SU Families!

We are so excited to welcome your children back into school!

Our 3rd graders recently took their much-anticipated annual field trip to Williams Barn, where history came to life! In alignment with the 3rd-grade social studies curriculum, students experienced hands-on learning about colonial life, including churning butter, crafting tools, and exploring what daily routines looked like in early America. These activities helped students connect classroom lessons to the real world while fostering curiosity, collaboration, and a deeper appreciation for the past.

All year long, Mrs. Murphy’s 3rd graders have partnered with our Kindergarten students as reading buddies, building confidence, fluency, and friendships along the way. To celebrate their final session of the year, the buddies teamed up for a special Reader’s Theater performance — a fun and engaging way to bring their stories to life!
