This morning, Swanson students were treated to a musical performance by ALL WHMS 8th grade music ensembles, including band, choir and orchestra.  Many of the performers were former Swanson students!

The NED Show visited our school last week.

The assembly was filled with storytelling, humor, illusions and amazing yo-yo tricks where our kids learned the hidden message in NED's name:

• Never give up
• Encourage others
• Do your best®
