If you have a Veteran in your family that you want to honor on Tuesday, November 11th, please send the following to Meghan Rhodes at mrhodes@swindsor.k12.ct.us

Please send your picture and information to Meghan by Monday, November 3rd so she has time to customize our slide presentation prior to November 11th.

The Fall Scholastic Book Fair will be here Tuesday Oct 21st- Thursday Oct 23rd! The book fair will be closed Friday.

Please use this link to shop online, or to create a cash-free way for your child to shop the fair, called an eWallet:

We love having volunteers help at the fair! Sign up here:

We will have both a morning and an evening event for parents and loved ones to shop with their kids at the book fair during this week:

Wed Oct 22 5:30-7 PM: Come shop at the book fair in the evening with your family. We are located in the back half of the gym!

Thursday Oct 23rd 8:15-8:55: Bring your child to school early and enjoy a treat with them while shopping at the book fair. Please park on the front lawn for this event so teachers can use the parking lot, and stay with your child until 8:55.

Please reach out to Sera Marcous at Seramarcous410@gmail.com with any questions!

No need to cook—just dine out and help our school! This year’s Cook’s Night Off lineup is filled with exciting stops like Dave & Buster’s, Friendly’s, Panera, Red Robin, Bears BBQ, Craft Pizza, Hot Table, and even a sweet night at Ben & Jerry’s.

Each month, you’ll have a chance to enjoy a meal with family and friends while supporting the PTO’s efforts to fund the popular  Math Mobile and Book Vending Machine.

 Mark your calendars now for the whole school year, and keep an eye out for flyers at the beginning of each month with details. Every bite makes a difference—thank you for helping our students grow and learn!
