Last Tiger Times for 2025
Our next Tiger Times will be January 6, 2026!
Thoughtful Tigers!
One initiative we have started this month is the Thoughtful Tiger! We are celebrating our students who are using CARES to help and think of others. Please see the picture of our thoughtful Tiger boards! Congratulations to our Thoughtful Tigers of the Week, Kenzie Woodson and Liam Black!
Spelling BEE Champion!
Congratulations to our spelling bee champion, Apollo Mott! He will be representing SES at the division spelling bee in February. Thank you to all of those whom contributed to the success of the students that took the challenge to test their spelling in front of others. We are proud of each and everyone of them!
Tis the Season for some ART!
Please see some amazing Artists hard at work!
ACPS has partnered with UVA Health to exhibit student artwork in the main hospital lobby, directly across from the elevators. Congratulations to Mia Jackson whose Veterans Day eagle artwork was selected for display at the UVA Children's Hospital through March 3, 2026!
