📚✨ Swain Middle Student Authors Published! ✨📚 Several Swain Middle students recently had their short stories selected for publication in Fright Club—a creative writing collection by Young Writers, an internationally recognized writing platform! These eerie tales (100 words or less!) were chosen for their spooky creativity and strong storytelling. Fright Club highlights young authors who know how to set a chilling scene—and our students delivered! Young Writers hosts contests throughout the year, encouraging middle and high school students around the world to explore their love for poetry and fiction. We’re so proud of our published authors and can’t wait to see what they write next!

Mock Trial in Mrs. Lucas' Social Studies Class! Today, many our 6th graders stepped into the courtroom for a mock trial inspired by The Three Little Pigs. Students took on roles to either prosecute or defend the Big Bad Wolf, showcasing their understanding of the legal systems. A big thank you to the Swain County Administrative Office for allowing us to use the courtroom—this real-world setting made the experience even more impactful!
