Charlotte's Web Trivia Questions

There will be three sets of trivia questions total. From those entries who get all the questions correct, a random draw will be held for the winner. Three sets of questions = three winners. During our celebration day on May 31, our winners will be drawn and win a prize of a stuffed animal to take home - we have a Charlotte, a Wilbur and a Templeton stuffy to win!

Reading Olympics

All students who read certain amounts to reach the gold, silver or bronze level received a medal (K-3) or ribbon (4/5).
All students who read were entered into a draw. This year we had three prizes, one for K/1, one for 2/3 and one for 4/5. Each prize consisted of a glow in the dark blanket and a book. 

A team from Auguston went to the Clearbrook Public Library for the Library Reading Link Challenge on Wednesday, March 8. Way to go team! Thank you to Mrs. Deol, Div. 4 teacher, for leading our students in this event.

Keeping the district’s focus on equity in mind, the Dr. Thomas A. Swift Elementary school community has taken on a small project of our own. Together with a couple of other elementary schools, we are using picture books to dive into topics of diversity and equity.
