A Message from the Principal...
SES Families:
On Monday, we do not have school as we reflect and celebrate the legacy of Dr. King. As a school community, our students will learn more about this legacy of serving and making a difference during the week and reflect on how they have made a different at SES and our community. We strongly believe the importance of academics and learning but just as critical is to create great citizens who make a positive impact.
I encourage you to talk to your student about these same topics at home.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Thanks,
Jeff Spencer
SES Principal

Familias de SES:
El Lunes no habrá clases para reflejar y celebrar el legado de Dr. King. Como comunidad escolar nuestros alumnos aprenderán más sobre una leyenda de servicio y hacer la diferencia, durante la semana y reflexionar en como han hecho una diferencia en SES y nuestra comunidad. Nosotros creemos fuertemente en la importancia académica y de aprendizaje pero igual es crítico en crear ciudadanos que hacen impacto positivo.
Les aliento que hablen con su hijo(a) sobre estos mismos temas en casa.
Tengan un maravilloso fin de semana!
Gracias,
Jeff Spencer
