The Mock Trial Team did not make finals; while they learned a lot and had fun while competing against large schools from Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Congrats to Katie for being named one of the Top 6 witnesses of the tournament.

The Mock Trial Team is at the El Paso County Courthouse in Colorado Springs this weekend for the regional competition. They are doing amazing at performing as attorneys and witness in the courtroom. Come out Thursday night at 6:30pm in the conference room to see their talents and expertise.

Today marked the 100th day of School for Swink School. Some students and teachers wanted to share in the fun by dressing up today as elderly individuals. They did an awesome job recognizing the 100th day of school.

The Gifted and Talented Students united with the STEAm Club Students to attempt to " Beat The Bomb." Students utilized and enhanced their problem-solving skills, teamwork, communication, and numerous other skills to solve a variety of STEM, memory, and maze challenges. The students also had a STEM Lab Activity that involved making slime. Learning and Fun was had by all throughout the day.

The seniors wanted to pose with their senior portraits. Thank you again to Mrs. Bickel and the elementary art students for creating the portraits. Getting all the seniors together at once is almost impossible, so we have a few individuals.

Mr. Krueger's woods class shows off their bird houses that they made and painted.
Hope the birds enjoy their new homes.

Come out this Saturday and Sunday at 3:00 pm to enjoy the music of the Swink K-12 Musical "Charleston."
You will definitely be delighted with the talent of these students.

Elementary students create Kindness Bookmarks in Mrs. Bickel's art class for Kindness Month.

Students in Mr. Ritter's Anatomy class built the major muscles of the body using clay. Such a cool hands-on learning experience.

Thank you to Mrs. Bickel and the Elementary Art students for the amazing senior photos this year.
They are such awesome artists, and we appreciate the dedication Mrs. Bickel puts into this project every year.

Swink School would like to introduce our new high school baseball coach, Garrett Palmer. Garrett comes to us with multiple years of coaching experience, including coaching for the Swink Rec Program.

Unfortunately, due to the low number of participants, the spring 2026 baseball season for this year has been cancelled. There will be an open field several times a week with Coach Palmer to build the program for future success.

Mr. Krueger's Junior High Woods' students made some fantastic cutting boards and a variety of hand-painted projects.
Great Work Mr. Krueger and students.
