Gatsby Formal was hot! In addition to the blazing temps outside, students lit up the dance floor and game tables! A few shots of a very fun evening—first and last dance of the year was 💯

Each year, the SWC staff and faculty highlight the excellence of specific teachers, support staff, and a program.
This year’s winners are:
1) Math teacher Austin Dyck for his patient, clear teaching and humble discipling of students.
2) Mark Bell for fixing all the broken things—and with over 400 students and faculty, you know that everything that can break, does.
3) Our nursing staff (not pictured: Adrien Knotts) who led us through a crazy Covid year with patience, peace, and strength.
Congratulations to all! We appreciate and applaud each of you!
While we love the start of summer and a day off as much as anyone, we want to reflect on the real meaning of this day: to remember those who died serving our country. They put themselves in harm’s way so that the freedoms enshrined in our amendments could be ours. Even as you enjoy this day, reflect on the fallen.
Congratulations to Daniel Bozanich on being selected for the Minnesota Music Educators Association All-State Symphonic Band Ensemble!
Students audition with etudes, scales and excerpts, and only the most extraordinary are chosen. This award represents many hours of practice with Mrs. DeVries, head of SWC’s instrumental program, to assemble his submission, plus years of hard work in private lessons.
To be selected to this group is an honor given only to exceptional music students who have been chosen among the top high school instrumentalists in the state of MN, and we are very proud of Daniel’s hard work to achieve this accomplishment!
Finals start tomorrow! Some reminders: BYO snacks and water, your Chromebook and charger, pens and pencils, and a positive attitude! Tests start at 8 for Spanish, 10:30 for English. Head to your 4th hour classroom or, if you’re a TA or have open hour, find the email from Mr. Flint for your designated room. We’re praying for your calm, confidence, and clarity!
On this anniversary of George Floyd’s death, we join with our brothers and sisters in Christ asking God to comfort those who mourn, and to give us courage to advance His Kingdom in our communities.
Congratulations to these seniors! Their high scores on the ACT and SAT have equaled scholarship money and admission to great colleges!
Students earning a 32 or above on the ACT include Piper Bjelland, Julia Brouwer, Kami Czech, Madison Gilmore, Lili Kohler, Hailey Miedema, Grace Henning, Sarah Johnson, Adrian Richtarich, Grant Seyller, and Emily Wilson.
Additionally, Sarah Johnson and Tyler Monson earned National Merit Commendations from their PSAT scores.
As this second to last week begins and finals week approaches, here is our prayer for our students: ask God for the strength you need to persevere! He will give it to you abundantly!
We are so excited that Articulate is back this spring! We will have beautiful student art on display in our lobby and then two concerts on Friday. At 5:30 the instrumental performances begin and the choir starts at 7:30, all in the SWC auditorium. Additionally, that evening, we will release Poiema, our student writing and art magazine, and copies will be available for attendees. Come enjoy fine arts on Friday!
Friday was National Lunch Lady day, and since we didn’t have school, we waited until today to say THANK YOU to our amazing food service staff! We so appreciate your care, good food, and smiling faces to brighten our days and fill our bellies!
A big day at Southwest today to enjoy a lot of in-person fun! First, Go Kart races, then LAX games, followed by two performances of Annie at 3 and 7! (Get tickets at SWCHS.org/theater—Friday night sold out!) Try to carpool, especially 1-4 p.m.
