From the Stadium to the Classroom – Let’s Pack the House!
Dear Parents and Families,
We loved seeing the incredible turnout and energy at Friday night’s football game—our stands were packed, our spirit was high, and our community pride was on full display. Now, let’s bring that same enthusiasm to what matters most: education.
Swan Valley High School Open House
Tomorrow Night 6:00 – 8:00 PM
Come meet teachers, see classrooms, and hear firsthand how your high school student is starting the school year. Your presence sends a powerful message to our students that education is our #1 priority.
Bonus Opportunity
At 8:00 PM in the library, we’ll also be hosting a meeting for students/parents interested in signing up for the New York City trip. If your student wants to be part of this incredible experience, don’t miss it!
Let’s fill the building the same way we filled the stadium—together, as one proud community.
See you tomorrow night!
Mr. Erlenbeck (Mr. E)
High School Principal
