Incoming kindergarteners and their families are invited to attend Kindergarten Information Night on Tuesday, January 29, from 6-7:30pm at your neighborhood School District of Elmbrook elementary school!

Eighth graders from Wisconsin Hills Orchestra, Chorus and Band treated Swanson to a concert this morning.  

This week fifth-grade students at Swanson Elementary participated in a cutting-edge art experience. Through Virtual Reality (VR) technology, students were able to walk through the world of Vincent Van Gogh's painting The Night Cafe.

Swanson held the kickoff assembly on Friday for this year's All District Read...

It’s boys vs. girls when the noisiest, most talkative, and most competitive fifth graders in history challenge one another to see who can go longer without talking...

Your child's teacher is sending home the book for this year's All District Read.  Our PTO is generously providing one copy of the book for each of our families.  Also, there are unlimited copies of the audiobook version available on overdrive.  Please see Amy G in the library for more info!

Please ask them about their project! Since September, these students have become Mars experts, Cyanobacteria researchers, and knowledgeable with converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.

We would like you to save the date for our next tournament at the Waukesha sectional on Sat., 12/15. It's a free event and fun for everyone. All are welcome. Usually the project, robot design, and core values are judged in the morning while the robot missions are over the afternoon with an awards ceremony wrapping up the day. In addition, last year's Swanson's, now WHMS team, the GEarheads will be competing there also.
