SW's First Annual Health and Wellness Fair

Schwenksville Elementary is excited about our new event! Families will be invited to visit our gym and learn about different ways to focus on both their physical and mental health. There will be many local providers and businesses sharing their information. Students (and families) can engage in CPR demonstrations, learn about healthy eating habits, experience karate, play pickleball and more!
Special Area Spotlight
What are students exploring in Library class with Mrs. Overholser?
We started out the year learning about how to care for and being responsible for our library books. All grade levels have now been able to check out library books. Students have been excited to choose books! The upper grades have been learning how to do a Book Quick Look to decide if the books meets their purpose.
Library Legacy Book Program
We would like to introduce you to a wonderful program in the library—our Library Legacy Book Program. This program allows you to donate $20.00 to our school library so we can purchase a book in honor of your child’s birthday, a special occasion, just because, or in memory of a loved one. This allows you to do something special for your child and our school at the same time. When you make a monetary donation, we will do the following:
- Put a personalized bookplate in the front of the book with your child’s name.
- Present the book to your child
- Your child will be the first to check out the brand-new book
If you are interested in participating in this program, which is optional, please fill out the form below and return the form and payment ($20.00) to the library at any time. If it’s for a birthday, please return the form at least a month before you want it presented. We love to get the forms at the beginning of the year for our planning purposes. We will start presenting books in October. If your child’s birthday or the date you choose is in June, July, August, or September, we will celebrate on their “half-year” birthday.
An average library book, including special binding, processing, and shipping, is $20.00. We ask for a monetary donation from you rather than a book donation. Prior to the month of the book presentation, we will have your child select their book from a wide choice of brand-new library books, and the book will be presented in front of the class.
Please include payment when you sign up. This simplifies the process and allows us to order books ahead of time. Please make checks payable to “Schwenksville Elementary.” If you don’t choose to sign up now, this form will remain on the website throughout the year if you change your mind. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Overholser (moverholser@pvsd.org)!
Mrs. Melissa Overholser, Librarian- and Mrs. Louan Hughes, Library Assistant
