End of Year Events
We wrapped up our year with the 8th Grade Challenge Community Presentations, an Open House and a picnic Sand Bar State Park. We are so impressed with the hard work and positive spirit of your fantastic children. Thank you for all of the support this year and have a wonderful summer!

Next Year
We will send home a summer mailing in July with core groups and materials lists. Until then, have a lovely summer and save the date for our campout on September 6th through 7th at Grand Isle State Park.
Please see the important dates above. Also, we are still looking for a few more 8th Grade Challenge Community Panelists. E-mail us if you're available!
Sandbar Picnic- June 14th
We will celebrate our 8th graders with a picnic and a simple ceremony at the Sandbar Picnic on June 14th. We are looking for chaperones, chips, watermelon, coolers, and beverage donations. If you can help with any of these, please click here:
Swift students had a fantastic experience in NYC. Eighth graders interviewed professionals in the field regarding their 8th grade challenge projects. All students visited a site related to their spring Independent Project. We look forward to seeing more photos and hearing their stories next week.
