Thank you to everyone who came to our annual Spring Gala! It was amazing to see so many people enjoying themselves and supporting our school community.
Summer Is Almost Here!
We are rapidly wrapping up the school year. Our last day of school is Thursday, June 12.
Bike Bus is going strong and students are biking to school every Friday. Keep an eye out for our bikers!
We have been enjoying speeches from our amazing eighth graders. At the end of every year, each of our departing eighth graders gives a speech that feels authentic to their identity and to who they are in the world. These speeches are funny, thoughtful, inspirational, and an absolute delight to experience. Eighth graders – we will miss you!
SES During Summer Months
Our school yard becomes a public park whenever school is not in session, so please feel free to come by and enjoy the play structure, soccer goals, baseball diamond, basketball hoops, and picnic tables anytime this summer.
You are also welcome to get a snack from our lovely garden during the summer months. Our garden is Teacher Nathan’s classroom during the school year, and we ask that neighbors do not pick from it until after June 12. However, from June 13 until August 26, please feel free to come see what we have growing and sample anything
that seems ripe and appealing. Please just be sure not to trample any plants and to leave plenty for everyone to share.
Space Needed for Evening PTSA Meetings
The SES PTSA is going to start holding a weekday evening meeting every other month, and they are looking for a venue. Do you have a good meeting place you would be willing to share with us? If so, please contact [email protected].
Our Library Teacher is an Author!
Please join us in celebrating Gillian Wynne Grimm, who just published her first book, The Tail of Morris. Gillian helps our students learn about libraries, browse for books, and runs SES’s Oregon Battle of the Books competition. Now she is a published author and illustrator as well! The Tail of Morris is best for elementary school kids and is about a serious cat whose tail does not behave, no matter what! Grab a copy today!
