🌟 Weekly Act of Kindness 🌟
This week, Swain Middle School is focusing on taking care of our classmates by being good listeners and offering help when it's needed.
Objective for the Week: Offer help to at least one classmate in need each day this week. Let’s make a difference together by spreading kindness and support!


Swain Middle School is so excited to introduce our "Weekly Acts of Kindness" initiative. Each Monday, we'll announce a simple "Act of Kindness" for the week to help spread more positivity throughout our school. Students will be encouraged to participate in the "Act of Kindness" for the week.
Examples include giving sincere compliments to peers and teachers, assisting classmates with schoolwork or tasks, and writing thank-you notes to show appreciation. Together, we can build an even stronger foundation of kindness in our school community!


For all you soccer fanatics here is the Swain Middle Soccer finalized schedule for the year.
