Field Day
Hello SES Moose,
What a fabulous Spaghetti Dinner the 6th graders put on last week! We’re so happy that so many from the community could join us for this event! Many thanks to all of the families, staff and community members and donating businesses who helped to make this a success. Congratulations to the 6th graders on raising over $2500 for their special activities this year!
This past week the 6th graders also visited the Amherst Regional Middle School (ARMS) for their orientation. They will certainly make us proud as they continue their educational journey “down the hill.”
We had some new faces just beginning their educational journey at our Kindergarten Orientation on Wednesday. It was great to meet our newest SES families and we look forward to the elementary journey they have ahead.
Reminder that we have no school on Friday, May 24 due to Curriculum Day and no school on Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day. Then the next 14 days left of school are filled with fun and excitement! See the Dates to Remember for important details!
Have a fun and safe long weekend!
