• Spirit Week was a great success! It was wonderful to be together as a whole school community this Past Thursday for carols in the gym, and for a whole-school sharing of our Art/Literacy Day on Friday. Stay tuned for our January Spirit Days. Special shout-out to Mys. Sehn’s Grade 6 class who did an impromptu performance of the Nutcracker on rhythm sticks to kick off our carols assembly! Great job!
• Best Wishes for the Holidays - Wishing you all a safe and happy holiday season! Thank you families for all your support and kindness. Our staff was overwhelmed with the well-wishes toward our teachers and support staff the last few weeks of December! Cecil Swanson is so lucky to have such an amazing group of students and families supporting our work with your children! Looking forward to seeing you all in 2025!
