Swansboro High School
Weekly Updates January 19, 2020
Thank you to our students, teachers and parents for an excellent week of final exams! Our students worked hard and finished the semester strong. Parents are reminded that Monday, January 20, 2020 is a school holiday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Tuesday and Wednesday, January 21 and 22, 2020 are teacher workdays. Students will return to school on Thursday, January 23, 2020, which is also the first day of our second semester.
Students will report directly to their first period class on Thursday. Students are encouraged to check PowerSchool accounts to review their new class schedules and locations. We will also have printed copies of schedules available in the lobby for any student needing a hard copy of their schedule.
Congratulations to our swim team who competed yesterday in Goldsboro. Our men's team placed 1st out of 13 teams and women placed 2nd out of 14 teams. First place finishers included Morgan Cassell in the 200 IM, Hanaka Miyazaki in the 100 Free, Ally Taylor, Bailey Nelson, Makenna Nelson and Hanaka Miyazaki in the the 200 Free Relay. Congratulations also to Coach Kidd for receiving the 2019 United Soccer Coaches Letter of Commendation on Friday at the National Conference. Soccer talent runs in the family because Tripp Kidd was also selected to the North Carolina Soccer Coaches Association East-West All-Star Soccer Game this week.
This week in athletics will include the swim conference meet on Wednesday at the Twin Rivers YMCA and Wrestling at Northside. Thursday is a home track meet and we will host White Oak in basketball on Friday. Home basketball on Friday is also free night for students at Sand Ridge Elementary.
Last week we welcomed a Military and Family Life Counselor to our Student Services Team. This counselor is designated to provide support and non-medical counseling for the military families of Swansboro High. Once a consent form is signed by a parent/guardian, our MFLC will be able to meet with military students individually throughout the school day. Our MFLC is available to discuss concerns pertaining to military life but is also a great resource for struggles in self-esteem, conflict resolution, stress management and overall coping skills. Our MFLC will also be hosting groups for military students during Refresh periods A and B on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.
In closing today, a special thank you goes to our Unified Sports student leadership team, led by Kathryn Sears. They have been hard at work each day this week painting murals with positive messages in our cafeteria and surrounding hallways.
