Note from Principal Phillips

We had a wonderful week filled with music and spirit here at SWS! A big thank you to our music director, Ms. Norell, for guiding our chorus and band students in putting on a fantastic winter concert. We're already looking forward to the spring show!

The PTO Holiday Shop was a great success! Students are excited to wrap the thoughtful presents they picked out from their shopping lists to share with family members. Thank you to the PTO for organizing this cherished annual tradition for our students and their families.

We also hosted a heartwarming Senior Sing-Along in partnership with the Sandyston Walpack Education Foundation and our school club, Community Cares. Many thanks to the SWEF for donating coffee and treats, and a special shoutout to club advisors Ms. Greene and Mr. Huarte for making the event truly special for our students and the Sandyston community.

Looking ahead, be sure to join us next Thursday, December 19, for the annual PTO Cookie Walk from 6-8 PM. And don’t forget—next Friday, December 20, is an early dismissal day for all students.

We will always list upcoming important dates here in our newsletter.
