Congratulations to the Fourth Grade Track Team!
Your Coaches are so proud of your hard work and sportsmanship this year.
We had a great track season and meet, and you were all fantastic athletes!
Thanks to all the family, friends, and fans who came out and cheered.
Shout out to everyone who helped at the track meet. We couldn't have done it without you!
SCE International Fair Week
Virtual Culture Club participants were given the opportunity to present a selected culture or country to exhibit in a school-wide International Fair Week. As Culture Club has developed an International Fair Night in past years, this student-tour approach was the first of its kind at SCE. Students and staff have enjoyed the hard work and sharing of student learning and heritage with peers and teachers alike. We hope to incorporate more of this approach in our return to the event next year. Well done, participants! 👏👏👏 You may take your display down on Wednesday.
Thank you to all who donated tablecloths for this event!
🐔 Breakfast Club 🐔
The first Breakfast Club meeting was an egg-cellent success! Participants will receive their books at our next meeting on Tuesday, May 18 at 9:05am (please dress for the weather).
- Please wait with your adults until you see Miss Coffman, Mrs. Wayne, or Mrs. DeBruyn.
**We are not able to accommodate additional students at this time. Please, no siblings.**
Students should bring one paper towel roll (or TP roll) for a craft-tivity for our Chickie Babies.
PLEASE let Miss Coffman know if your child has any sensitivity/allergy to peanuts as soon as possible! We will be using peanut butter this week.
If you or your family would like to sponsor a summer treat for the girls, we are currently out of their favorite treat, mealworms (available at TSC).
Additionally, if your child would be interested in future learning opportunities with the chickens, please contact Miss Coffman mcoffman@hse.k12.in.us before the end of the school year!
🐓🐓We look forward to some egg-cellent learning together! 🐓🐓
