The Serene Scoop
Serene Hills Elementary School --- Oct. 21, 2022
Message from the Principal:
We're flying from one busy week to the next. This week SHE hosted an area Student Council conference with 100 attendees from the Austin area. We also had a Farmer's Market set up in the cafeteria by our FANS department where students were encouraged to sample tasty and unusual fruits and veggies. LTEF and our Superintendent, Mr. Norton, stopped by to present us with our LTEF Grant and our $1000 prize for having the most registrants in last year's LTEF Turkey Trot. I would love if we could do it again this year! Today was another day of ACE. From dancing the Hula to learning how to care for littles when babysitting, the school is full of enrichment.
Next week is another busy week with Track & Field Days Wednesday and Thursday (more details below) and Book Character Dress-Up day (again with more details below).
Thank you for trusting your littles with us. We sure are enjoying them.
I hope you all have a great weekend with your families.
Warmly,
Keegan Luedecke
SHE Principal
