Strath Haven Middle School
Friday, March 18, 2022
Dear SHMS Families:
Today students took part in a virtual Career Day. In sixth grade, students were taught the difference between hard and soft skills that may be required for different jobs. All students were taught how social emotional learning connects to career success. Students used the Strath Haven Middle School Career Exploration Catalog to investigate career options. Students accessed their Naviance accounts to complete several reflections and a survey. These activities were saved in Naviance as part of each student’s personal portfolio to meet Pennsylvania’s Career Education and Work Standards. As I stated in my last communication, Naviance is the platform that students will use through high school for career and college planning. Our goal is to get students to use Naviance and think about their futures.
You can access the Strath Haven Middle School Career Exploration Catalog using the LINK. This webpage was developed in collaboration with the SHMS Home and School Association, the Wallingford-Swarthmore community, and the SHMS Counseling Department. I would like to thank our SHMS Home and School Association, as well as all the volunteers from our community who created videos for our students.
Go Panthers!

The Art of WSSD
After a 4 year hiatus due to the pandemic, The Art of WSSD is back at the Community Arts Center! The Art of WSSD is our biennial exhibition of visual art from select students in grades K-12. It is a celebration of the creative artistic expression of the students of the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District. Art from all five WSSD schools is represented in the Duke Gallery at the Community Arts Center, from ceramics to photography to drawing, painting, and sculpture. A reception will be held on Sunday, March 27 from 2-4 p.m. It is free and open to the public. Simultaneously on display in the Lounge Gallery of the Community Arts Center is the George H. Slick Fellowship exhibition of Gabe Lawson, Class of 2022. Both exhibitions remain on display through Apr 29, 2022.
