We will be having our final quarter incentive, Wednesday May 21, for students who continually follow our HERO expectations! Students will be doing 5 stations that all contain water. If your student would like to wear a bathing suit UNDER their clothes they can, but the clothing will need to remain over the bathing suit the entire time. After water recess is over, students will have the opportunity to change into dry clothes, if those are provided from home. If a change of clothes is not provided from home, the school DOES NOT have extra clothing and we will not be allowing students to call home to get other clothes.
We strongly encourage you to send in an extra set of clothes and have students wear water friendly shoes that are closed toed (no flip flops or slides!)
SCE is excited to announce a special visit from Douglas Bickert and R2D2 on Monday, May 5th! Mr. Bickert travels all over the Columbus area sharing his story about the robot that he built himself! We would love to celebrate this day by students wearing anything Star Wars - please no masks or weapons! Attached is a link from Channel 10 news where Mr. Bickert and R2D2 were featured if you'd like to learn more.
Parents on Positivity Patrol (PoPP) is a volunteer program that brings more caring adults into our schools to support students and staff. Parent volunteers play a vital role in education—not only as valuable resources for teachers but also as role models who show students that school is important and worth their time and effort.
Through PoPP, parents have the opportunity to actively engage in the schools their children attend, fostering a strong sense of community. By spreading encouragement and building positive relationships, PoPP volunteers help create a welcoming and supportive environment for all.
Join PoPP today and be a catalyst for change. Together, we’ll shape a brighter future—one uplifting interaction at a time.

1st Grade -” In Module 4, students discover that while there are thousands of versions of the Cinderella story, the stories are united by common elements and themes. Changes to the setting do not disrupt the magic of these tales or their ability to impart the importance of kindness, forgiveness, and belief in good triumphing over evil. We will ask the question: “Why do people around the world admire Cinderella?”
2nd Grade - “In Module 4, we will study the digestive system and the importance of healthy food choices. By analyzing texts and art, students answer the question: How does food nourish us?”
3rd Grade - “In Module 4, students will explore the creative impulse as they read biographies of artists in the fields of dance, literature, the visual arts, and music. In addition to reading about the artists, students encounter the work of each of these artists. We will ask: What is an artist?”
4th Grade - “In Module 4, we will read and analyze myths from the ancient Greeks and Romans, as well as Native American tribes, to learn the purpose and importance of these stories in their cultures. Students will also enjoy reading Walk Two Moons, a beautiful tapestry of stories within stories, to reveal a modern-day myth that captures a snapshot of our human experience. We will ask the question: What can we learn from myths and stories?”
