Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we head into our final day before the Christmas break, our Lost and Found collection has grown quite large! We have many jackets, pants, water bottles, lunch boxes, and hats that are missing their owners. We would love to see these items returned to your homes rather than spending the holidays at school.
You are invited to stop by the school today to look through the Lost and Found racks until 4:00 pm. Thank you for your help in clearing out these items, and we wish you all a wonderful and restful winter break!

This year, the Elms Road Student Leadership Team is partnering with the Swartz Creek High School National Honor Society to spread holiday cheer to the residents of local assisted living centers. Together, our students will create care packages filled with comfort items, snacks, and activities. We are inviting Swartz Creek families to donate items for these care packages. Please send any donated items to school and deliver to classroom teachers or the main office. Thank you for helping us bring some extra joy to our community!
