A Message from the Principal

Dear Sward Families,

It's hard to believe that we are already wrapping up the month of January. Between Map testing, Bingo Night, Drama performances, D123 Day, Souper Bowl Food Drive (Go Chiefs), school wide activities, and all the rigorous learning taking place in between, it has been a BUSY month. There is always something great taking place at Sward so please make sure to check out our calendar of events listed at the bottom of The Eagle Express so you don't skip a beat!

Sincerely,

Suzanne Amra

Sward School Principal
