Swain East Elementary School

🎄✨ Student-Led Conferences & Merry Making Event! ✨🎄

We had the best day celebrating our students growth and creativity!

We are incredibly proud to share that Donita Guest was awarded the Educator of Excellence at the EC Conference in Greensboro. Although she wasn’t able to attend, today she was presented with her plaque and a special pin, along with an honorary pin in memory of her mother, Gladys Waldroup. 💗

Donita pours so much love, strength, and dedication into her students, even in the midst of deep personal loss. This recognition is so well-deserved. Please join us in congratulating her and lifting her up today. 🌟💛

❄️✨ Our 5th graders had a blast hosting The Great Snowman Hunt around the school today! They were so excited to spread a little holiday joy to the younger students. ☃️💙
