Hello Seward Elementary 4th and 5th grade students and families! We are excited to announce our latest extra curricular activity for Spring 2025.

Adventure Club

April 1 – 24

Tuesdays/Wednesdays/Thursdays

2:45 – 3:45

Students will be engaged in exploration, team building, walking, having fun all while exploring outside.

All activities will take place within walking distance from the school.

Please ensure that students have:

* a snack and athletic layers to enjoy Adventure Club

* a ride home each day at 3:45

3rd-5th graders, remember that on Fridays we have our student store! The spending limit is $10, cash only!

We are raising money for arts in our schools at Seward Elementary School on Thursday, February 13th from 8:00 am – 2:30 pm during parent/teacher conferences.

100% of the funds raised will go into the PTA Arts and Music Fund. The PTA Arts and Music Fund benefits all three Seward schools by supporting and helping to fund the Seward Artists in Schools initiative, the Seward High School Theatre Collective and other various arts and music programs, especially those that present an opportunity for students to participate in an immersive or educational experience.

Dear Seward El families:

We have an exciting event planned for Tuesday, Feb. 11. An Alaskan children’s book author will be visiting Seward Elementary!

She will be speaking to our students about her books and adventures, as well as themes of teamwork, perseverance, and proper animal care.

She will be offering signed copies of three of her books at a discounted price during this event! A book order form will be coming home with students by the end of this week, and can be returned to the school library with payment by Monday, Feb. 10, if you are interested in purchasing any copies.

The books available for purchase are:
