Notes from the Nest

In our SEES school community, we S.O.A.R., meaning that we demonstrate: Support, Optimism, Acceptance, and Responsibility.

We have so many reasons to celebrate at SEES this week and next!

  • This week, we showed our appreciation for our amazing Military Kids with special spirit days.
  • We also recognized outstanding attendance and citizenship for students in 3rd to 6th grade today!
  • And the celebrations keep going – tomorrow is Earth Day, and we'll be beautifying our school for Beautification Day!

Looking ahead to next week, we'll be celebrating Volunteer Appreciation Week! We want to express our sincere gratitude to all the incredible volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to SEES.

Our volunteers play a vital role in so many areas: helping at PTA events, serving on the PTA Board, assisting in our library, and working one-on-one with students. If you're volunteering at the school next week, please stop by the office for a sweet treat as a small token of our appreciation!

Sincerely,

April Martin

Proud Principal
