Daily Update 9/13/24

Good evening Mustang Families,

As always, we are excited to keep you informed about all the great things happening at McSwain. Below, you'll find updates on upcoming events, important reminders, and highlights from the past week. Your continued support makes our school community stronger, and we appreciate all you that you do. Let’s work together for another fantastic week ahead.

Patriot Day

On Wednesday, Patriot Day, McSwain came together to honor the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and to pay tribute to the bravery of first responders and the resilience of our nation. We observed a moment of silence across both campuses, reflecting on the impact of that day and the importance of unity and compassion in our community. Teachers facilitated thoughtful discussions in classrooms to help students understand the significance of 9/11, and we encouraged staff and students to wear red, white and blue as a way to honor those who served selflessly.

Atwater High School Homecoming Parade

Thank you to everyone who took part in the Atwater Homecoming parade. We had a fantastic turnout, and the float looked amazing. A special thanks to our Leadership team, Mrs. Perez and Mr. Sherman for leading the effort.
