King, Jr. Day.
Due to predicted overnight weather, Swain County Schools will operate on a two-hour delay tomorrow, Thursday, January 15th. Buses will not run on icy roads.
However, we will continue to monitor weather conditions overnight and notify you of any changes as soon as possible.
This week, let’s focus on giving our best in everything we do. Whether you’re taking a test, competing in a game, working through a tough class, or simply showing up for a friend who needs you, your effort matters.
We can’t always control the outcome, the score, or the grade, but we can control our effort.
Effort is a choice. It’s something you decide every day, in every moment. Choosing to give your best shows respect for yourself and kindness toward others.
When you give your best, you’re saying: I care. And that choice can inspire the people around you to do the same.
Let’s make this week one where we choose effort, even when it’s hard because that choice can make all the difference.
As we begin 2026, remember that your past does not have to define your future. This new semester offers you the chance to reset and grow. If you weren’t the best-behaved student last semester, you have the power to change your path today. If your grades weren't where you wanted them to be, you can start putting in the work now to fix it. Even if you weren't the best friend you could have been, you can choose to lead with kindness and loyalty moving forward.
Your act of kindness this week is to practice accountability with a positive outlook. Instead of dwelling on old mistakes, take one specific step toward being the person you want to become. By deciding to show up differently, you not only improve your own life but also inspire those around you to do the same. What will you do today to make this semester your best one yet?
This week, pause and think about how your choices impact others.
💬 Before you speak: Will my words lift someone up?
🤝 When you see someone left out: How can I help them feel included?
🌟 At the end of the day: Did my actions make today better for someone else?
🧠 When I’m frustrated: How can I respond with respect?
🏫 At school: Would I be proud of how I’m treating others?
❓ This week: If everyone acted like me, what kind of school would we have?
Small choices. Big impact. Let’s choose kindness.

🌟 Weekly Act of Kindness Challenge 🌟
This week, join our Kindness Challenge! As we enter the gift-giving season, let's remember the most meaningful gestures cost nothing but mean everything. We challenge all students and staff to offer three key "unwrapped gifts" daily: The Gift of Time (sit with someone alone or check in with a coworker), The Gift of Encouragement (leave a positive note or offer a genuine compliment), and The Gift of Kindness (hold a door or help someone carry materials). Your challenge this week is to choose one person—student or staff—who needs a lift. Let's make generosity the kind we create, not the kind we buy.
