Welcome
School Wide Project for 9th-11th grade students: Market Day, May 14, 11:00 AM-2:00 PM
On May 14, 2019, the Market Day will open to the public in the SSAE building from 11:00 AM-2:00 PM, where students will be selling homemade projects, food, and games. Please plan on swinging by to support not only SSAE students but the charities they have chosen to donate their profits.
The wrap-up for the project is Thursday, May 16, (after the final ALEKS Knowledge Check) when each team will write their donation letter to a local community charitable organization they have decided to donate their profits as well as calculate the profits and amount they can donate.
It is vital that all students attend every Tuesday and Thursday during this time period. (Virtual students will continue with the designated curriculum.)
Congratulations to Sabryna Nussbaum
We would like to congratulate SSAE’s senior, Sabryna Nussbaum, for winning the Skills USA state and regional competition. Sabryna attends both SSAE and the Career Start for Automotive Collision Technology program at Pike's Peak Community College. Sabryna's next step is the national competition in Kentucky where she will spend a week in June competing in estimating. She will have to hand write an estimate, calculate total loss, do a virtual estimate, and write another estimate on a real car. They will then take her total scores and add them up to see who got the closest. We wish her the best of luck!
