This morning we gathered as a staff to honor and celebrate, 1st grader teacher, Mrs. Williams as our 2023 Teacher of the Year!

We are so very thankful and grateful for the many, many ways Mrs. Williams supports her students and her colleagues each and every day!

Miss Cheatham, our EL Facilitator, does so many, many things that make our school a better a place! We are so appreciative of her efforts day and in and day out.

You are much-deserving of this award!

Miss Cheatham and Mrs. Williams - thank you for doing

WHATEVER IT TAKES to make SES the BEST!

We celebrated two third graders who had perfect scores on this year’s IREAD3 test!

Congratulations to Yaretzi Padilla-Zarco and Ruth Dawt Hlei Tial! Both students received shirts and got to sign the Achievement Wall while their classmates cheered them on.

We thank Mr. Mapes and Mrs. Carpenter for coming today to celebrate with us!

Congratulations to our 33 students who have reached a level 5 on their WIDA test, which means they are now considered proficient in the English language! This is quite an accomplishment and we are so proud of all of our multilingual students!

Our EL teachers made a video to share with the whole school celebrate these students!

Congratulations to our SES "Citizens of the Month" for the month of April!

We are very thankful for our wonderful child nutrition staff for all they do each and everyday!

Mrs. Murphy’s class wrote letters of appreciation

SES 3rd graders and our amazing cafeteria staff collaborated to bake dog treats to donate to local animal shelters for our PBL project!

We are collecting donations to give to Rosie’s Southside Animal Shelter because their

barn caught on fire.

Miss Busch's class has been learning about the life cycle of ducks. For 28 days, they waited patiently for ducks to grow and develop inside their eggs in an incubator. They finally made their appearance on Monday and they welcomed 6 new ducklings to their class!

First graders had the best time on their field trip to the zoo! It was great to see all the animals and enjoy the beautiful weather!

2nd Grade SES students enjoyed their field trip to the Survive Alive House! They learned important tips for fire safety from the amazing firefighters!

Do you want to see your favorite teacher get pied in the face? Well you can!!!

If we raise $500, the 4th grade teachers will get slimed... AGAIN! If we raise $750, Mr. Witt will SHAVE HIS HEAD! Cent Sabotage will start May 8th and go until May 16th!
