This past Thursday morning, at David Hansbarger Football Field, Swanton Middle School (SMS) kicked off the 9^th year of the Swanton Seven Initiative (SSI) with the House Reveal event of the Program.  The Reveal places all new SMS students and new staff and faculty, into one of four “Houses” in which they will team with fellow housemates in competition with the other houses throughout the school year.

The Houses are DIGNITAS, GRATUS, OBDURO, and SAPIENTIA and they bear the colors Black, Gray, White and Purple, respectively.  Each House has a relatively equal amount of 5^th, 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade students and once a student is assigned to a House they will remain there throughout their time at SMS.

The House Reveal is part of SSI’s Amazing Shake Program, is a competition that focuses on building soft skills in students, placing strong emphasis on manners, discipline, respect, and professional behavior.  The event was inspired by the National Amazing Shake Competition that is held every year at the acclaimed Ron Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia.

This year’s celebration had a very special reveal once all the students had been assigned their house.  Principal Nicolette Stark introduced a “mystery” guest by the name of Chris Sneider.  Mr. Sneider emerged from under the football stands, proceeded directly over to Assistant Principal Dakota Ullrich, bent down on one knee and proposed marriage to the very surprised and unsuspecting Ms. Ullrich as the entire SMS student body went absolutely crazy in response.  No date for the upcoming nuptials has been set as of this writing.  Good luck topping this final reveal next year.
