Notes from the Nest
In our SEES school community, we S.O.A.R., meaning that we demonstrate: Support, Optimism, Acceptance, and Responsibility.
Dear SEES Community,
What a fantastic week we've had here at Springfield Estates! It's been a whirlwind of activity, but all in the spirit of our school motto: "Together We SOAR"!
First, we celebrated Earth Day with a bang! Our Get2Green Team led a school beautification day, where students cleaned up litter, planted seeds in our new garden, painted rocks with inspiring messages, and decorated the sidewalks with colorful chalk art. It was a wonderful display of our students' Supportive nature and their commitment to taking care of our planet.
On Monday, we were honored to have Mr. Ronald Lusk, Franconia District Supervisor for the Board of Supervisors for Fairfax County Government, visit our school. He toured the classrooms and spoke with students about local government, fostering an Optimistic view of civic engagement in our young learners.
This week truly culminated with our incredible Heritage Night that was sponsored by our amazing PTA! Over 500 people joined us to celebrate the rich tapestry of cultures represented in our school community. Families shared delicious food from all over the world, showcased student and family performances from many different backgrounds, and displayed informative visuals highlighting their home countries. As your principal, witnessing the Acceptance and joy students experience when they share their heritage is one of the highlights of my year. The traditional clothing and vibrant decorations added to the festive atmosphere.
Finally, we wrapped up the week by celebrating our amazing Military Kids Club! These students, who come from families connected to the military, have made new friendships and connections throughout the year. Their Responsibility and resilience are truly inspiring.
Looking ahead, next week marks the beginning of SOL testing. Please encourage your children to get a good night's sleep and enjoy a healthy breakfast each morning so they can feel their best and perform to their full potential. Additionally, a reminder that school will be closed next Friday for Good Friday.
I am so grateful for your continued support and partnership. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of our students!
Sincerely,
April Martin
Proud Principal
