Activities

SWMS is once again collecting photographs for our Wall of Freedom. If you know someone who is currently in any branch of the military or retired from the military please bring their photo into the office. We will scan the photo and return it to you. Please, let the office know who the person is, what branch of the military they were/are in, and how they are related to you. For example, Bob Poggio, Navy, brother to Mrs. Miller. We would like to have photographs as soon as possible so that we may hand them up before our Veterans Day Assembly on November 10.
