HappyThanksgiving!

Good evening McSwain Families,


As we enter Thanksgiving week, I want to wish our entire school community a very happy holiday. I hope the break provides time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy the people and traditions that mean the most to you. We are grateful for your continued support, your partnership, and all you do to help our students thrive. A friendly reminder that school will be closed next week, Monday, November 24 - Friday, November 28. We look forward to welcoming all students and staff back to campus on Monday, December 1st.


Warm Regards,

Mrs. Sanders
