5th graders at East Elementary made cakes from scratch as they embarked on learning about the properties of matter, and how heat and a catalyst can cause a chemical change that binds the ingredients together.

Poster titled “Bus Driver Appreciation Week!” with the subtitle “Thank you for all you do for the students of Swain County!” The design features eight cartoon-style illustrations of school bus drivers smiling and leaning out of yellow school bus windows, arranged in two columns. Each panel shows a small group of drivers with varied ages, hairstyles, glasses, hats, and clothing, all drawn in a friendly, slightly exaggerated caricature style. A school logo with a maroon “S” and a devil mascot appears on the right side near the bottom. The lower right corner includes a “NAPT Love the Bus Month” graphic with a heart. A long list of bus driver names appears in small text across the bottom, along with the note, “Created with the assistance of AI.” The background shows a road with a yellow center line fading into the distance.
This is a reminder that Swain County Schools will be closed on Friday, February 13 for a scheduled, mandatory teacher workday.
