Swallow Union Update
Week of January 30th, 2023
Message from Mrs. Jarvis, Principal
We have had an engaging, exciting week of learning and growing ourselves in so many ways. Snowshoeing, Global Play Day, 1st graders engineering catapults! We have some truly fantastic teachers enriching our students! Please be sure to take a moment to catch our week at a glance in the Live Feed section of our school website!
When visiting Swallow please take a moment and notice newly displayed student artwork!
Currently displaying: Kindergarteners created abstract threaded sculptures using their knowledge of lines. They enjoyed bending and twisting the pipe cleaners to form interesting three-dimensional lines and were fascinated with attaching them to their bases simply by poking them into the foam. To help strengthen their fine motor skills and add more visual interest, the artists strung beads and foam pieces onto their pipe cleaners.
On Tuesday, Madelyn Gannon, 4th grader, took a ride to school in our Dunstable Fire Truck alongside two of our local firefighters! She was one of the winners of the Feed Tiger Fundraiser that took place in the fall. Thank you to our PTO and Dunstable Fire Department for making memories of a lifetime and supporting the importance of community connections!
