You have each made such a positive,lasting impression on the lives of yours students in ways that you may never know. Our students and their families are so fortunate to have such amazing educators. As we move forward, our wish for you all is that 2017 will be filled with laughter, love and learning. Yes, we can and should have all 3 of those each and every day here at SBES. It is our goal to help you achieve these things, so please do not hesitate to let us know how we can help in any way! Here's to an amazing 2017!
