School is Out for Summer!
I know every day is not easy doing learning online through Canvas without our teachers and classmates. It is just not the same as being together in the classroom. I want to thank all of our Schweitzer parents and families for supporting your children in this learning process. I also want to thank the teachers and staff for rising to the challenge of creating a brand new online learning platform. Our teaching and learning in Neshaminy is forever changed as a result!
#WE GOT THIS!
Stay Healthy,

A Big THANK YOU to the Current PTO Board!
With the close of the 19-20 school year, we simply cannot thank the current Albert Schweitzer PTO Board for their many years of service to the students, staff, and school community. They have been AMAZING! Always there to offer to help, fundraise and maximize the activities and fun we offer our students, and show the genuine care for their children and all the students at Schweitzer. I personally want to thank them for welcoming me into the school community and for working collaboratively to get larger projects completed to help our school in appearance and care as well as offer activities that keep learning and school fun! I will miss all of you. Thank you for your tireless dedication and your regular visits to Schweitzer to collect fundraising efforts, hang signs, collect paperwork, decorate, or simply plan to make events memorable for all of us. THANK YOU from me and all the Albert Schweitzer staff! We couldn't have continued to build our Schweitzer Village without you!
