Notes from the Nest

We've just kicked off our month of Spirit Days and are already really enjoying seeing all the different holidays that are celebrated by SEES families! 

SEES now has a new and improved Facebook page! Follow us here!  

Be sure to let our office staff know when your child will be absent from school. You are encouraged to send an email to your child's teacher as well, but you MUST contact our office first about all absences.

From Our PTA 

Here's an update on our recent activities over the past few weeks, as well as on those that are coming up: 

  • We held a very successful in-person Turkey Bingo event on Friday, 11/18!  Thank you to all who came out for the fun evening!
  • We also completed our Nothing Bundt Cakes fundraiser, where we had over 100 Bundt cakes purchased. They made great dessert during the Thanksgiving break! 
  • SEES students did an amazing job reading for our ReadaFun fundraiser where we raised $2,200! The top classes won a popsicle party. 
  • We have had three restaurant nights so far this year: Maleks, Ledo Pizza and Silver Diner. We have another one coming up next week at Nando's Peri Peri (see below for details) - hope to see you there!
  • We are excited to announce that STEM exCEL courses are coming back to SEES!  These are amazing after-school classes provided by an outside vendor that the PTA hosts; the options will be Comic Book Drawing, Robotics and Minecraft Programming. Please note that there is a registration fee for these classes.  For more information and to register, please click here. 
  • We are looking ahead to our Silent Auction (held in conjunction with International Night in February) and the wonderful Art to Remember activity where keepsakes are made from student artwork. Interested in helping?  Email Ashley Doss, PTA President, at Ashley.n.doss1@gmail or join us at our next committee meeting on Thursday, December 8 at 5:00 p.m. in the SEES cafeteria.    
  • Please plan to join us at our next PTA meeting on Wednesday, January 11 in the SEES cafeteria at 6 p.m.
