This year’s SWING Around the World theme recognizes the great work of our students and teachers to learn and embody Kindness Travels this school year. SWING Around the World also encourages us to celebrate our local and global community while raising funds for our beloved school.
In addition to supporting the general operating budget and stable tuition rates, the focus of this year’s fundraiser is critical resources to help students’ social and emotional development, which have been adversely impacted by the pandemic. Because strong children make a community stronger.
