More than a PE teacher, Mr. Swenson is shaping how students move through life. From building confidence and healthy habits to teaching that true strength is measured by how well you move, not how much you lift, his impact reaches far beyond the gym. A mentor to both students and future educators, he was surprised as this month’s Game Changer award recipient, earning tickets to a Vegas Golden Knights game along with a $1,000 in recognition of his incredible impact.
