Ms. Kenney's April 25 Newsletter

May 2, 2025

Dear Swift Families,

There are so many beautiful things in our lost and found looking for their home! Mrs. Dahl updated the Lost and Found items over Spring Break – please take a peek! Please also come and check the Blue Bin located next to the office – ALL Lost and Found will be donated at the end of the year.

Please continue to pack clothes for cool and rainy weather – despite the sunny skies today, we all know the rain isn’t over for the year quite yet!

Many field trips are coming up before the end of the year – please keep an eye on your SchoolCash account for payment and permission. If you need any financial assistance please let Ms. Kenney know directly and we will make arrangements together to cover the cost.

PAC News

We will be hosting a used book sale on May 5th starting at 2:30-3:30 in the gym. Books can be purchased by donation, with all proceeds going right back to student activities at school. If you are cleaning out any bedrooms or playrooms this spring and have books to donate, we would happily take them off your hands! Please bring them to the bookshelf in the front entrance! The last day we will accept donations is May 1st.

May 22nd is our Annual General Meeting. If you are interested in any of the elected positions, please contact the PAC email for more information. The Carnival is also coming soon – save the date – June 6, 2025!

Keep up to date on all things PAC at www.taswiftpac.com. We love feedback, please email the PAC email or the PAC Fundraising email if you have any comments. Minutes from all PAC meetings can be found here.

Dogs at School – A Reminder

As the warmer weather comes, a dog walk to and from school might seem like a great idea. Please be reminded that dogs – regardless of size are NOT permitted on school grounds. If you want to add a dog walk to your pick up and drop off routine, please say good-bye or hello off of the school grounds. Thank you for your cooperation.

Parking 101

Please remember and remind family members who do pick up and drop off that when using the “Drop Off Lane” you may not park and get out of your car. Please help the traffic keep flowing. And, while things have been better in recent weeks, we continue to hear from our neighbours that members of our school community are blocking driveways, double parking, and most recently moving garbage cans to create more parking spaces. Please show our best selves, to the rest of the community.
