April 14 marks the day we began use of our new soccer field. Watch this short video to see students racing across the field in an elimination race. Our thanks to all the special people involved in making this dream a reality.

Picking Up Sticks

sticks

There's lots of clean-up after this past winter and Swift River students were ready to help. For a half hour one Wednesday morning, all students in grades kindergarten through sixth came out to the playground and picked up sticks and trash to help the custodial staff. We are all rewarded with a beautifully clean play area!

We are studying Australia!

The writing process at work!

Take a peek into the computer lab. Third grade students work
through the many steps of a writing assignment.
