CATERPILLARS ARE BACK!
We have the 2nd generation of March butterflies (caterpillars) that are growing in Mrs. Evans's room with hope to release them closer to the end of the school year. We have around 100 eggs and about 50 caterpillars at the moment.
How exciting!

April is the month of the military child. Tomorrow, April 19, Searcy School District is celebrating some of the military's most unsung heroes-the military children. All students and staff are invited to help us celebrate our military families by wearing purple. We are grateful to the service of these men and women and their whole families!


SWMS loves our military children, and we thank their families for their service! Let's see that purple tomorrow! 💜
