A note from Ms. Swanson: Hi. I've been teaching at Southwest since 2007. Before that I taught for 17 years at Anwatin Middle School, in Minneapolis. I feel so lucky to be a part of Southwest High School. What a great place to get an education! Sidenote; My family does a lot of fostering of cats, dogs, and kittens. We always have some kind of foster(s) running around our house.
