SES had our 1st Annual Pumpkin Decorating Contest. Students voted for their favorite & chose Mrs. Weekley's dumpling depiction. Superintendent's Choice goes to Mrs. Cozad for Plankton with his raw sewage burger. Great job, everyone!










Mrs. Lantz & Mrs. Kelley's class visited Butchers Farm this week also. It was a fun & enjoyable experience for all of them. Their smiling faces say it all!








This week, Mrs. Strawderman & Mrs. Wable's Kindergarten class visited Butcher Family Farms. They were able to paint a pumpkin, go for a hayride, play in the corn pit & so much more. The students had a wonderful day!










It was a beautiful day for an outdoor STEAM lesson. Mr. Mark Wilson, SES STEAM teacher, made this a competition between classrooms. Each class was to figure out how to pad a box so the pumpkin inside wouldn't break or crack. The winning class or classes received a 3D printed Pumpkin Drop trophy to display in their classroom. This year's winners are Mrs. Lantz & Mrs. Kelley's Kindergarten & Mr. Dan Wilson's 4th Grade classes won! Congratulations!!
It's crazy sock day at SES for Red Ribbon Week. Mrs. Lantz & Mrs. Kelley's class are "socking it to drugs".

SES rolled out the red carpet yesterday as our fourth graders celebrated winning the first 10 to Win Attendance Challenge!
After achieving 10 days of 100% grade-level attendance, students earned the opportunity to choose their celebration, and they chose VIP recess!
Our fourth grade VIPs made their grand entrance down the red carpet, complete with sunglasses, music and their very own photo opportunities. The celebration continued with kickball, basketball, volleyball, dancing and plenty of playground fun!
One of the most exciting parts of the day was seeing the enthusiasm spread through the school. Students from other grade levels were already asking how they could earn their own VIP experience!
The goal of our attendance initiatives is about more than improving numbers. It's about creating an environment where students feel connected, celebrated, and excited to show up every day.
Yesterday was a reminder of just how meaningful those moments can be.
Congratulations to our fourth grade VIPs! We can't wait to see which grade earns the next 10 To Win Celebration!
