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,

This week, our amazing Eagles have been truly exemplifying our school motto – Together We S.O.A.R. with Support, Optimism, Acceptance, and Responsibility!  It's been inspiring to see their dedication and consideration during SOL testing. They've been encouraging each other and putting their best foot forward, and we couldn't be prouder!

In other news, a gentle reminder that Kindergarten Registration is now open!  Attending kindergarten lays the foundation for lifelong learning and social skills.  Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about registration – we're here to support a smooth transition for all our new Eagles!

Speaking of transitions, our lost and found is overflowing!  Please take a moment to check for any misplaced treasures before May 17th, when unclaimed items will be donated.  Lost and found items are located outside the cafeteria.

As we celebrate diversity throughout the year, May also recognizes two important heritage months:  Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month and Jewish American Heritage Month.  FCPS offers resources to learn more about the rich cultures and traditions within these communities.

Looking ahead to May, we have exciting Spring Band and String Concerts coming up, so stay tuned for details!  In the meantime, keep up the excellent work, Eagles!

Sincerely,

April Martin
Proud Principal
