What's Happening On Campus
 

🕊️No School Monday, January 19
No school on Monday, January 19, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
We honor Dr. King’s legacy of justice, equality, and service, and take this day to reflect on his vision for a more fair and compassionate world.
 

🌱Community Garden Event🌻

Previously rescheduled due to weather, the Community Garden Event is a new event we’re hosting in partnership with MCOE! The McSwain Garden Day of Service will take place on Saturday, January 24, right here in the McSwain Garden.
 
This event will focus on garden maintenance, learning opportunities, and community service, and we’re excited to kick off a series of ongoing garden events throughout the year.
 
We look forward to seeing you there and growing together as a community!
 

😊 Great Kindness Challenge Week

 
The Great Kindness Challenge will take place January 26-30. The theme of this year’s challenge is “Show us Your Kind”. This theme calls on students, educators and families to shine a light on kindness–capturing and sharing the powerful ways they bring compassion to life and infuse our world with positivity.
