We are incredibly excited to announce that Swan Valley School District has received a game-changing grant from the Frankenmuth Credit Union Foundation for Our Communities!
Because of their amazing support, Swan Valley is officially launching its first-ever complete K-12 robotics program! Here is what’s coming for the 2026-27 season:
Havens Elementary is launching a brand-new rookie team to compete in the FIRST Lego League BIOGLOW season!
Swan Valley Middle School is building a brand-new FIRST Tech Challenge practice field to gear up for the BIOBUZZ season!
From elementary building blocks to high school heavy-hitters, our students now have a complete pathway to STEM pathways in engineering, coding, and innovation.
Thank you, Frankenmuth Credit Union, for investing in our students and the future of STEM!
Let’s get building!

To our incredible Swan Valley School District bus drivers—thank you for being the first friendly face our students see each morning and the last one sending them home safely each day. Your patience, dedication, and care keep our Vikings rolling strong, no matter the weather or the miles. We appreciate you today and every day for the vital role you play in our school family! 🚌💜

Happy Administrative Professionals Day to our incredible Viking secretaries across the entire district! 💜🤍
Thank you for answering all the phone calls, solving all the mysteries, finding all the missing forms, calming all the chaos, and somehow keeping the copy machines working (which may be your most impressive skill of all). You are the unofficial tech support, calendar coordinators, problem-solvers, student helpers, parent greeters, and the friendly faces that keep our Viking schools running every single day.
Honestly, if schools ran on coffee, kindness, and miracles… you’d still be doing most of the work. ☕📎
We appreciate you more than words can say—thank you for everything you do for our Viking family!
