Lions Life for the Week of October 20.

Swink School’s Operation Smile Chapter was started in 2006 by Chris Casper, the school nurse at the time. Each year, money is raised to help pay for cleft palate and cleft lip surgeries in 3rd world countries. One surgery costs approximately $250. This year is our 16th Annual K-12 Miles for Smiles Walk-a-thon! The walk-a-thon will be on Thursday, October 23, from 3:30-4:00 pm.

Elementary students will bring home collection envelopes on 10/16/25. They are encouraged to collect donations and return their envelopes on 10/23/25. The Walk-a-thon will be held from 3:30-4:00 on the track on 10/23/25. Students will be walking to celebrate the money collected for Operation Smile.

Donations can also be dropped off in the school office. Please make all checks payable to Operation Smile.

Artist of the week, Rylee Conty, designs a page for homecoming in the yearbook. This is Rylee's first year in Digital Art and he is full of awesome ideas.

Swink School Food Service Department invites you to get ready for an incredible Colorado culinary experience on October 7th, 2025!
Swink Students will be tantalizing their taste buds with a delicious spread featuring the finest locally sourced ingredients from the beautiful state of Colorado.
Picture this: savory bean tostadas topped with homemade salsa, mouthwatering calabacitas (Mexican squash), and a refreshing selection of juicy watermelon and sweet Rocky Ford cantaloupe, all handpicked straight from the bountiful fields of Hanagan Farm.
And that’s not all! We’ll also be serving up crisp and vibrant hydroponic lettuce, locally grown at The Summers House.
It’s a celebration of Colorado’s rich agriculture heritage that you won’t want to miss.

Mr. Krueger's junior high industrial arts class showcases its self-built wooden lamps. They designed and made some very creative lamps.
