What's Happening Around the SWAMP!

And just like that, the break has begun!

Today marked the first day of winter break for our students, bringing to a close the incredible first half of the school year. It has been an amazing first semester filled with growth, discovery, and so many memorable moments.

Thank you for sharing your children with us these past few months. We hope your holiday season is as bright and joyful as the students who made our classrooms this semester.
