I wanted to share information about an upcoming day we are going to hold annually of one of our Swigert Eagles – Pippa Robinson – who passed earlier this year after a courageous battle with cancer. This year it will be on Friday, April 25th. We wanted to mark an annual tradition in honor of her memory, and celebrate the joyous, dress-up loving, dance party throwing superhero that she was!
Pippa made everyone around her smile and we were all in awe of her strength. She loved coming to school dressed in full costume, whether it was from the Incredibles, Hermione Granger, all or any of the Disney Princesses or superheroes. To honor her love of superheroes and costumes we are going to encourage everyone to come to school dressed as a superhero, princess/prince, Disney character, or butterfly. At the end of the day we are going to have a smaller ceremony with the second grade classes in the garden to release live butterflies and then one for the whole school to release wind-up paper butterflies. Parents can join us at 2:50 on the field if they would like to join in the celebration.
This was originally scheduled for this Friday if you have it on a previous calendar, but due to the forecasted snow, we moved it to April 25th.
Sincerely,
Shelby Dennis
