💙🧡 YOU MATTER. KINDNESS MATTERS!

At Southwest Elementary Global Academy (SWEGA), kindness is taking center stage! 🌟

In preparation for Bullying Prevention Week, October 19–23, students and staff are spreading a powerful message of kindness, inclusion, and respect.

From a colorful “You Matter” display featuring students' names to an interactive “I Put the I in Kind” photo opportunity, SWEGA is reminding every student that they belong and their actions make a difference.

Throughout the week, students will participate in themed spirit days and have opportunities to be recognized through “Caught Being Kind” tickets celebrating everyday acts of kindness.

💙 Every student matters. Every act of kindness counts. Together, we can create a school community where everyone feels valued and supported!
