Elementary School

Please check out our Slideshow for new updates!

On Thursday, November 5, Swanson participated in a virtual author visit with Stef Wade. She read her new book, The Very Last Leaf with Elmbrook students, staff and families. Ms. Wade’s story addresses scientific themes like photosynthesis and wind resistance along with a cute story that addresses life transitions and social emotional struggles.  Click below for more details & photos!

SwansonFest 2020

We are excited to share Virtual Swansonfest with all of you! What is great about this opportunity is that you have the chance to participate in over 60 different sessions! Most of the sessions need limited supplies and the ones that do need things are easy to get!  Another benefit of the Virtual Swansonfest is that the slidedeck will stay active even after May 29. Most of the sessions have videos available to watch, so you have the chance to come back to it and try any of the activities as often as you would like.

When it was determined the traditional 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony wouldn't be held at the end of this year, the 5th graders came together to use some of their funds to support a local non-profit.  The students voted and decided to donate $500 to the Elmbrook Humane Society. The gift was received with extreme gratitude, and we are proud of our students for looking for an opportunity to help others during these unprecedented times.

Several Swanson students in grades 2, 3 and 4 participated in the Spring Noetic Math Contest.  There were 14,500 students across the nation that participated! Individual achievements are listed below!  Additionally, the grade 2 team earned a Team Achievement Award for scoring in the top 10 percent of all teams participating! Congratulations to all!  Click for more info!
