Swanson's 4th & 5th grade Junior Coaches attended an area conference at the Al McGuire Center at Marquette to celebrate the year with other Junior Coaches from Southeast Wisconsin.
We are grateful to the Swanson PTO for helping to fund the annual Playworks program fees, as well as paying for the bussing costs for this conference.
Swanson students were treated to a special cultural assembly today. The Natyarpana Dance Company, based in Brookfield, performed three unique dances. One of the performers was a fourth grader from Tonawanda.
Mr. Baker's second grade class had a special visitor in the library. Bridget Dahm of Alter Metal Recycling came in to teach the kids about different metals. Alter donated books about recycling to each first and second grade classroom at Swanson. Alter is holding a fundraiser this month and 100% of profits are donated back to Swanson PTO. So clean out your garage and drop metal items off at Alter in Pewaukee. Don't forget to tell them that you're from Swanson!
Swanson staff is so grateful to the EEF and Grimaldi's Pizzeria for providing a wonderful appreciation lunch this week.

In Reading, we have been reading a story and studying about the artist/architect Antoni Gaudi and his amazing creations. Inspired by our new learning, Mrs. Hardie's class had a chance to make their own wood creations. Great job, Kids!
The 5th grade Girl Scout Troop 1312 earned The Bronze Award, the third highest award in the Girl Scout program! The Bronze Award is earned in part by working on a multi step project that benefits the community. Troop 1312 focused on helping the homeless in Milwaukee County, partnering with Street Angels (a mobile homeless outreach mission).
Music and Me has been going on in both Ms. Zetting and Ms. Deck's rooms and it has been a HIT, with SO many different presentations of how MUSIC fits in your life!!! This is Mrs. Zetting's FAVORITE time of the year, to see how each class comes together to support one another and each student shows their favorite thing about music!
