At Swansea, we honor student birthdays in a fun and equitable way. Each child receives a birthday crown and a special pin to wear with their school uniform on their special day. To help keep classroom learning uninterrupted, we do not allow families to bring cakes, cupcakes, balloons or other party items to school.

This week’s mystery staff member was born in San Juan Puerto Rico and grew up in Corozal, Puerto Rico. His favorite book is Digital Fortress by Dan Brown, a novel about a mathematician working to break a code to protect and save the National Security Agency and country.

Our mystery stallion also loves hiking, playing video games, drawing and singing. Can you guess who it is?
