The Spirit Days are as follows:
Maroon Cohort: Monday, October 26th is Hawaiian Day. Tuesday, October 27th is SWHS Spirit - rep our school with school colors and spirit!
Gold Cohort: Thursday, October 29th is Hawaiian Day. Friday, October 30th is SWHS Spirit - rep our school with school colors and spirit!
We look forward to seeing you dress up for Spirit Week and this friendly Cohort Competition. Feel free to send pictures masked & dressed in school spirit to the Student Council & BPO social media accounts!

A unique year will make for a very unique yearbook and we need YOUR HELP! We are in need of your pictures and stories. The yearbook staff is covering the following topics right now: how you spent the summer months, the beginning of school, fashion in a hybrid schedule, SWHS clubs, the environment, human interest stories, and fall sports. When you submit a photo, your contact info is required and PLEASE put the names of the people in the picture, a brief description of the event, who took the picture, and your phone number in the “Description” area. The link to submit the photos is on the SWHS homepage. Please contact us with any questions or story ideas: [email protected]

ALL South Windsor students are now eligible to receive a free breakfast and a free lunch provided by the school district. Please stop by the cafeteria on your way into school for your complimentary breakfast and then at lunchtime, stop by your designated serving area to choose your complimentary meal. For distance or hybrid at-home learners, Grab & Go meals are available by the rear entrance of the school near the football field Monday to Friday between 1:00 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.

Politics have a significant impact on the environment. Leaders we vote into office now can have a lasting effect on the environment. In the future we should all be aware of what candidates stand for, so in the coming years the environment can be the best it could possibly be. Issues like deforestation, which will leave only 10% of our worldwide rainforests left by 2030, are heavily influenced by our politicians that we elect. We need to spread information about candidates that have plans for these problems before it becomes too late. In order to help save our environment, we need to better inform ourselves about our political leaders. Take the time to inform yourself of local, state, and national candidates. Information brought to you by the Environmental Club.

Virtual College Visits continue to take place on a daily basis. Students can now use the Zoom links for these visits on their Chromebooks! Please note – when you click on the Zoom link, if you are not directed into the Zoom meeting, look toward the bottom of your screen for a link with text that reads “Join from Your Browser”. This will allow you to attend from your school-issued device. Next week’s lineup of colleges includes: Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts, Muhlenberg College, University of Rhode Island, Monmouth University, Paul Smith’s College, George Washington University, Fairfield University, Rollins College, and Florida Institute of Technology.
