Message from the Principal
Hello SES Families,
October was a busy and exciting month at Springville Elementary! From the excitement of Bingo for Books and the fun of our Halloween Parade to the important messages shared during Red Ribbon Week, there were plenty of opportunities for our students to learn, celebrate, and connect with one another. Beyond these special events, I continue to be proud of the learning taking place in our classrooms each day. Our students are growing academically, building friendships, and learning what it means to be safe, respectful, and responsible members of our school community. Thank you to our families, staff, and community members who help make these experiences possible. Your involvement and support are a big part of what makes SES such a special place!
As we turn the calendar to November, we enter a season that naturally encourages us to slow down and appreciate the people and opportunities around us. This month, we look forward to honoring the men and women who have served our country during our Veterans Day Assembly, along with the many opportunities to practice kindness and gratitude as Thanksgiving approaches. With the holiday season just around the corner, the weeks ahead will certainly move quickly! I encourage our families to take a little extra time to enjoy the small moments together, whether that's reading a book, sharing a meal, or simply asking your child about the best part of their school day. We are thankful for the trust you place in us each day and look forward to continuing a wonderful school year together!
Best,
Karl Gesing
SES Principal
