We are so excited for the 4th Annual Swigert Service Day. On Friday, May 13th, all the students and staff will be involved in service projects here on the Swigert campus. We would love for 1-2 parents volunteers to help in every classroom. Feel free to sign up for other classrooms even if you don’t have a student in them!
Sign up HERE to help!
In the afternoon, there will be a fun obstacle course outside on the field. Feel free to come and hang with your student’s class for that too. (schedule at the end)
