Notes from the Nest

Awards Ceremony

From the Principals’ Desk

We are full of celebration, leadership, and pride at SEES! 🦅

We hosted our Quarter 2 Awards Ceremony, recognizing students for their hard work, growth, and character. Students were honored for strong attendance, outstanding life and citizenship skills, meaningful improvement in academics or behavior, and for consistently demonstrating what it means to be a Super SOARing Eagle through positive office referrals. These awards are important because they celebrate not only academic success, but also perseverance, responsibility, character, and growth. We are incredibly proud of all of our recipients and the effort they put into their learning each day. 

Our Green Team also met this week and continued their exciting environmental work. Students mapped out plans for our outdoor learning space and sensory gardens in the courtyard, finalized their recycled garden projects, and colored endangered species illustrations created by 9th graders from Lewis High School as part of a cross-school learning connection. It is inspiring to see our students take leadership in caring for our environment and strengthening community partnerships.

Thank you for your continued support as we celebrate student achievement and create meaningful learning opportunities for our Eagles.

With appreciation,

April Martin, Proud Principal & Kassandra Flading, Assistant Principal
