Buddy Classrooms have long been a cherished part of Sweetwater’s culture, pairing up different grade levels to learn, lead, and grow together through a variety of engaging activities throughout the school year.

Check out some of the amazing partnerships already making an impact:

* Mrs. G and Mrs. Hughes’s 1st grade classes recently kicked off their partnership with an enjoyable story time together—the first of many fun activities planned for the year!
* Mrs. Slusher’s 3rd graders visited Ms. Thorlin’s classroom to read stories, building early reading confidence and creating fantastic new friendships.
* Ms. Stallman’s 7th and 8th Grade Leadership students teamed up with their 1st grade buddies in Ms. Doster’s class to explore hands-on science concepts like force and push motion.

A huge shoutout to our student leaders for putting Habit 6: Synergize into practice! It's proof positive that Together is Better at Sweetwater.

Yesterday, our Sweetwater family came together in unity to observe the 25th anniversary of Patriot Day.

Through age-appropriate lessons, our students put Leader in Me habits into practice—showing Synergy and taking time to Seek First to Understand the history of Sept. 11, 2001. By honoring the courage of our heroes and learning from this milestone year, they demonstrated true leadership and character.

We are proud of our students for keeping the memory of 9/11 alive. Together, we remember.

Congratulations 🎉 Ms. Christen and Mrs. Farmer!

Here is a glimpse of the incredible learning and growth happening across our classrooms:

Expressing Every Voice: In Mrs. Smith-Hill's room, students used functional language models on AAC devices to talk about ordering, preparing, and describing food, proving that everyone has a voice and a seat at the table.

Synergy in Action: Ms. Stallman's 7th-grade Leadership class paid a visit to Ms. Doster's 1st-grade classroom. Seeing our older students mentor and encourage our younger learners is true Synergy at work!

Putting First Things First & Being Proactive: Students in Mrs. Hughes’ 1st-grade room were proactively taking charge of their learning, Putting First Things First as they practiced their reading skills during literacy centers.

When we Begin with the End in Mind, moments like these show just how bright our students' futures are. Keep Leading the way, Mustangs!

Recently, we held our annual Leader In Me Kick-Off assemblies. Sweetwater Middle School Choir started our assemblies with the National Anthem.
Then, our leaders participated with Mr. Kester in the 7 Habits dance. Ms. McMacken and Mrs. Corrales shared students' favorite Habits and how they use them. We look forward to seeing all our leaders demonstrate their Habits this year!
