Dolly Parton's Imagination Library
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a free book gifting program that mails high-quality books to children from birth until their 5th birthday regardless of their family’s income. “The single most significant factor influencing a child’s early educational success is an introduction to books and being read to at home prior to beginning school,” states the National Commission on Reading.
Financial Donations made through the Blue River Community Foundation have allowed this wonderful program to be offered in our community! Each month, registered children who live in Southwestern’s school district will receive an age appropriate book in the mail, addressed to them, at no cost to the family. Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has partnered with the American Printing House for the Blind, Inc. to make many wonderful books in the program available in braille and audio format for children who are blind or visually impaired in order for all children to benefit from these wonderful books.

Southwestern Food Service Department
Spartan Nation,
Lunch Account Adjustments: Due to the current waiver we are operating under within the Food Service Department there have been some additional opportunities that I have capitalized on for our district. This has allowed us to retro charges to your account of any breakfasts or lunches between August 4, 2020 through September 9, 2020. This is again another great opportunity to help our families during this pandemic.
Merchant Fees: We currently have a platform that supports our merchant processing payments that unfortunately have fees that are more than the current rate of $3.00 per transaction is covering. In order for the Food Service Department to help cover some of the loss of these charges we have to raise the charges from $3.00 to $3.50 per transaction. I apologize for any inconvenience regarding the fees; however, I encourage you to either send in a check or cash for your students lunch to avoid these fees altogether.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns please contact me at scarson@swshelby.k12.in.us.
Sincerely,
Samantha Carson
Director of Food Services
