VIP Day has been a long-standing tradition at Swain, and we were so excited to welcome guests back into our school to share the talents of our students with their Very Important People.

The day featured several components that showcased our students: music portions for grades PS - 3 and for grades 4 - 8, the 32nd annual art show, and class and grade level projects. In addition, this is the first major community event we’ve hosted in over two years due to the pandemic. The feelings of excitement, joy, and connection were evident throughout each portion of the day. 

Students have been working hard to create artwork, choreograph and perfect musical performances, and hone projects to be shared with our community. Each child had autonomy in each project being shared today to either choose a topic, a famous person, or even a project of which they felt most proud. We hope everyone enjoyed this special day, during which we celebrated the unique tenet of our founder, D. Esther Swain, when she vowed to “nurture the collective joy of learning and individual spirit within each child.” We hope you felt the collective joy of learning and the spirits of our students throughout each portion of this special day at Swain.
