On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Amra announced "We’re kicking off the school year with some serious energy!  Chicago legend and champion Willie Gault has been blown away by Sward School’s excellence and championship spirit and he’s made a special video just for us! With our theme “Igniting Our Potential and Elevating Our Excellence,” Willie is here to help us light the spark and get this year started in true champion style."

Sward students watched the special message in their classrooms to get them excited and pumped up to use this really cool experience to set their goals high! Students were really excited to be recognized for their excellence by a Chicago Bears legend and US Olympian!

Mrs. Crossley added "Sward Eagles lead by example — let’s ignite our potential and elevate our excellence. Go Eagles!”
