News from our Wolfpack...to yours!
2019!
Here's to a Fun & Exciting 2019! We hope you had at least some time to relax over the winter break, and it was great to see the kids come rolling back in all full of smiles.
After KINDNESS lesson, Alshon Jeffery, EAGLES Wide Receiver, Visits SWS!!
Exciting! Based on Morning Meeting lessons on Kindness and Empathy, many second grade students wrote letter of encouragement to EAGLES wide receiver ALSHON JEFFERY. Within days, the story had gone viral and had been picked up by many local and national news outlets. Soon after that, we were organizing a surprise visit by Alshon...and then it really went viral. Click 6abc video to view the news coverage, and Alshon's video for his reply. It truly was an amazing turn of events and a testament to the power of KINDNESS.

Our 3-4-5 grade student members of Chorus, Band, Jazz Band, & Orchestra played all the season's hits at our Winter Concert recently. Great Job!!!
