Message from Principal Martz
Good Afternoon SWE Parents and Families,
It’s been another great week of teaching and learning at Smith-Wade-El. Students enjoyed a PBIS Rewards and Spirit Day on Wednesday. Students chose from a variety of fun projects including crafts, building, games, origami, scooter play and many other exciting activities. It was wonderful to see students from all grade levels working and having fun together as a reward for being Responsible, Respectful and Safe.
Kudos to Asa, one of our 5th grade students, who is attending the Regionals of the National Geography Bee at Muhlenberg College this weekend in Allentown. We wish him the best!
Have a safe and restful weekend and please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.
PBIS Quarterly Rewards
Wednesday, March 9th we held our Quarterly PBIS Rewards celebration.
Every student was able to a fun morning activity. We had activities ranging from building, board games, karaoke, art projects, bingo, music, scooter games, and more!
We were bustling with fun and excitement after another wonderful quarter here at Smith-Wade-El.
Check out these photos to share in our fun.
