We are incredibly proud of the outstanding achievement of our students and especially the growth and success of our students with the greatest needs. These results are a testament to their hard work and to the dedication, expertise, and care our staff brings to students every single day.
The candy apples shared with staff today were a small way to say: We see you. We value you. Your hard work matters, and it makes a difference.
Great results don't happen by accident. They happen when students and educators feel seen, supported, valued, and connected and when an entire school community works together to help every student succeed.
Congratulations to our students and staff!
A big thank you to our PTO for supporting enrichment opportunities like this program from the Discovery Museum. Their continued support helps bring engaging, hands-on learning experiences directly to our students!
Between the Color Run, dunk tank, ice cream truck, face painting, and chalk, there was something for everyone to enjoy. Events like this remind us what makes our SU community so special.
A huge THANK YOU to our PTO and all of the volunteers who gave their time and energy to make another memorable Color Run possible!
We held our first school-wide assembly of the school year and welcomed The NED Show back to Swallow Union! Students learned about the importance of having a growth mindset through storytelling, humor, magic, and yo-yo tricks, with a focus on NED’s message: Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best!

From Chalk the Walk welcome-back messages to settling into new routines, our students are off to a wonderful start! In STEM, students are reviewing the design process and laying the groundwork for an exciting year of hands-on learning. In PE, Ms. Paulik is getting to know her students through fun and engaging games—with a goal of learning every student’s last name this year!
We are also thrilled to welcome our newest Swallow Union students - our Kindergartners! They are busy making new friends, exploring their classrooms, and learning the routines and expectations that will help them feel confident and connected at school.
What a great beginning to a new school year! We are so excited for all that is ahead!

Annual Flag Day grand entrance at buses this morning and for helping hold the flag ~ thanks to Mr. Kimpton!
4th Grade Breakfast Celebration with their families and teachers! Class of 2034! Go be awesome in Middle School, and be sure to visit Swallow Union :)
Mr. Kimpton spent time with our fourth-grade students, leading a thoughtful discussion about Flag Day and the meaning behind the Pledge of Allegiance. His knowledge, enthusiasm, and commitment to our school community help bring history and civics to life for our students.
