SWITZER (SUMMER) UPDATE
June 17, 2022
Update from Mr. Palmer
Happy summer Switzer,
As the the students left, I made them all promise to:
1. Be safe and look both ways when they cross the street.
2. Listen to their parents.
3. Read at least 3 books.
Please remind them of their promise.
Thank you for your support in another great year at Switzer.
Jacob Palmer
Next School Year
At this time of year many things are happening at home and at school. At school we are busy taking inventory, placing orders for next year, and most importantly, organizing next year’s classes.
Please let us know if you do not plan on attending Switzer for the 2022/2023 school year. If we don’t hear from you, we will assume that at this time you do plan to return in the fall.
