Sparkly Swoop’s Stress Less Week Adventures Recap + Finals Week
Sparkly Swoop had an extra sparkly week visiting the halls during Stress Less Week! Each day brought a new adventure; whether it was sliding down the candy cane slopes, throwing an impromptu disco party, soaking up some much needed sunshine, or simply spreading glittery good vibes to everyone they met.
Swoop loved greeting students, sharing small moments of joy, and adding a little magic to the end-of-semester hustle. We hope these tiny surprises brought some warmth, laughter, and calm into your space this week.
Until next time, take care and be well.
-Sparkly Swoop & the MHWS Team ✨🧡💜
