Southwestern's Throwback Thursday
1999: "The varsity girls basketball team, cheerleaders, and fans pose for a quick picture at the soap and towel game. Every year SWHS has a game to kick off the season. Fans bring in towels, soap, or drinks as their payment for the game. Each team is divided into two and plays against their own teammates."

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.

Major Health Partners Community Health Survey
Every 3 years nonprofit hospitals are mandated to complete a community health needs assessment.
Part of the assessment includes a community survey. The survey is for persons who live or work in Shelby County.
Please take the Community Health Survey!
The survey takes around 6 minutes to complete and will provide a wealth of information
for Shelby County communities, nonprofits, businesses, government and schools.
Access the survey at www.mymhp.org/survey.
You can take the survey on your smart phone or PC.
The flier below also has a QR code for your convenience.
Please share this opportunity with your colleagues, friends and family.
If you have a son or daughter ages 15-17, we also encourage them to take the survey.
Thank you for carving out a few minutes of your time to take the 2019 Community Health Survey!
