Dear Swansfield Community, 

Springtime has bloomed and at Swansfield this means the start of several annual traditions. Tonight, April 17th, from 6:30-8pm, join us in the Swansfield Cafeteria for Family Culture Night. This event showcases the many beautiful cultures amongst our community! Come learn, eat, and build connections!

Next Saturday, April 25th, we will come together for another spring highlight, the 3rd annual Fun Run!  Warm-ups will begin at 9am on the Swanfield Blacktop. The Fun Run is held in partnership with the SES staff and PTA and helps to raise funds for recess and playground equipment. Registration is only $5 and covers the run/walk, as well as many after race activities and food. Use the link below to register and/or sign up to volunteer! 

We have many more opportunities to come together this spring. Check out the April PTA Meeting minutes for more information! Additionally, if you are interested in taking on a leadership role with the SES PTA during the 2026-2028 term, please complete this brief form by TODAY!

Looking forward to enjoying Springtime together at Swansfield,

Mindy Gorelik

The Green Beanz

The Green Beanz (Swansfield‘s environmental team) are looking for volunteers to help with our NexTrex challenge! We are collecting plastic film to be recycled and made into different building materials such as benches, deck boards, and furniture. We’re hoping to collect 1000 pounds as we have done in the past two years. We need volunteers to pick up the plastic in the vestibule at the front of the school on Thursdays and bring it to Giant.  Please look at the sign-up sheet below to pick a day, or two, if you may be able to help. Thank you so much!
