    Expanding and renovating Clermont Elementary School and Swift Middle School will cost less than Solanco School District officials estimated.
    The work in the two schools will cost $16.5 million, well under the estimate of $17.3 million the district's architect anticipated.
    "We were very pleased that we had the number of offers we did. It was a nice selection," said Solanco School District business manager Sandy Tucker.

       Sixth graders face big changes when they move up from elementary schools, but teachers and administrators are ready to help kids, and their parents, make the transition.

1/26/2015

Solanco schools promote reading for pleasure

8/28/2014

 
    Even before they came back to class on Monday, many of Solanco's students had been working on their first assignments for the new school year.
    Those students were given a summer reading assignment in June and they were handed the books before the previous school year ended. Lessons for the first several weeks of the new school year will be based on the books the students read over the summer.

8/21/2014

 
    With just a few days until the new school year begins, parents and students in Solanco are getting ready.
    Keith Kaufman, spokesman for the school district, said that parents don't need to worry about supplies.
    "The district does not require parents to buy supplies. The district provides all items," said Kaufman.
    But both Swift and Smith middle schools sent a list of "suggested" items home with students during sixth grade orientation.

Route 222-Swift Road intersection made safer

8/20/2014

 
Picture
    By last Friday afternoon, drivers entering Robert Fulton Highway (Rt. 222) from Swift Rd. had a better chance of avoiding an accident.
    Fulton Township's crew, assisted by workers from Little Britain Township and excavator Andrew Jackson, worked throughout last week to make the intersection less dangerous.
    The crews used loaders, dump trucks, and a grader to remove an embankment that blocked the view of drivers trying to pull out on Rt. 222.

Swift Middle School students create abstract sculptures

6/8/2014

 
Picture
    The students were not expected to sculpt what they see.
    Instead, they were to work from abstract works of expressionist artists.
    "I explained that what those artists see is not what everyone sees in reality," Swift Middle School art teacher Stephanie Deininger said recently. "The work was supposed to be surrealist and dream-like. It's not supposed to be realistic."
    For the sixth graders, that meant coming up with paper and cardboard sculptures that can be used as wall hangings. The eighth graders worked with papier maché formed over wire and then painted to create free-standing sculptures.

 Swift Middle students look for a good read at Book Fair

5/30/2014

 
Picture
    Tristan Murry was looking for Prisoner B 3078 on Thursday morning, May 22, but there weren't any in stock at the Swift Middle School Book Fair.
    The fair will be getting more copies on Friday, reading specialist Alison McPherson told him. "You can pay for the book now and we'll hold it for you," she told Murry.
    Murry was looking forward to the nonfiction work.
    "It's a true story about the Holocaust," he said. "He was one of the people who survived." The book's title refers to the number tattooed on the prisoner's arm, he added.
    He prefers an eReader because he can keep more books on it.
    "And it doesn't get heavy if it's a long book," he explained.
