Our Esports Mario Kart teams would like to thank Jolt Credit Union for the $500 donation! We purchased gaming monitors the students used in our first match Wednesday night!
The A team won their match and the B team raced hard but fell short on the scoreboard.
🐾 Today, Swan Valley Middle School had a paw-some visitor! Riggs, a therapy dog in training, stopped by to bring smiles, comfort, and lots of tail wags. 🐶💙 Students loved spending time with him, and Riggs is well on his way to becoming an amazing therapy dog.
We can’t wait for him to come back and share more joy with our school community! Big thanks to Mrs. Whelton🦴✨
Great effort from both teams. Their hard work is amazing. The Girls team had 9 finish in the top 25. Kudos to Ainsley Ball for crushing a personal record by shaving off 2 minutes. Boys had 6 top 25 finishes. Shout out to Logan Mersdorf for shaving off quite a bit of time to set his personal record. Other PR's : Unger, Johnston, Whelton, Vannortwick, Oldham, Ittner, Klepsch, Hoffman, Hernandez, and Light !
