From the Principals’ Desk
What a wonderful week of learning and community at SEES! We were thrilled to welcome so many families to our Math Night, where our Eagles had the opportunity to share their thinking, explore problem-solving together, and show what it means to be confident, curious mathematicians. Each grade level featured estimation jars that sparked excitement (and a little friendly competition!), and our grade-level teams created math games connected to current learning for families to take home. It was especially meaningful to see students and families learning the games together, building both skills and confidence in math in a fun, engaging way.

We also had the pleasure of celebrating our talented musicians at the Area Band Concert this week. Our students represented SEES with pride, demonstrating not only their musical skill but also their dedication, responsibility, and teamwork. We are so proud of their hard work and grateful to our music staff and families for supporting their growth and performance opportunities. Together, these moments reflect what it means to be a SOARing community—supportive of one another, optimistic in our efforts, accepting of each other’s strengths, and responsible in our commitments. Thank you for your continued partnership in making SEES a place where our Eagles truly shine. 🦅
With appreciation,
April Martin, Proud Principal & Kassandra Flading, Assistant Principal

Our kindergarten mathematicians are hard at work becoming problem-solving pros! This week, students are diving into exciting word problems within 10, using hands-on tools like manipulatives, drawings, and creative strategies to make sense of their thinking. Classrooms are buzzing with curiosity as students explore different ways to solve problems, explain their ideas, and build confidence in their math skills. It’s amazing to see our youngest learners SOAR as supportive and optimistic mathematicians!
