SES Families,


What a great week at SES! We watched our EL students perform Reader's Theaters at each grade level. It was amazing to see how much these students' language skills have developed! We had a great field day! Staff did an amazing job of planning fun activities, and students were well behaved and kind at every station! We had an awesome Teacher Appreciation Week. A special thank you to our PTA who showered us with gifts this week and made our teachers feel loved and valued!


These end of year activities mean every day is new and exciting! It has been a great year, and our students deserve a chance to celebrate! We have many more fun activities planned for the coming weeks! Teachers will be sending out specific grade level details.
