SES students gather in the gym to pack boxes for Operation Christmas Child.

On Nov. 13, SES participated in a school wide cup stacking event. We are happy to announce that our school helped to break the Guinness World Record for most people stacking cups on one day. Last year the number was 555 932 cup stackers, and we beat that for 2014. The kids had a lot of fun doing this and we would like to thank Mr. Howell and Mrs. Hunter for their work in preparing this event.

We have had many contributions pouring in for our Operation Christmas Child boxes. Each SES class toured through the gym on Wednesday and packed boxes to send to less fortunate children. SES is very pleased and proud to share that we packed 225 boxes. The parents and kids of SES have been so generous and we know all those boxes will make a huge difference to many children.

On Nov. 20, our early learning program had Mrs. Gendre give a presentation on teeth. She talked to the kids about proper brushing techniques, how often to clean their teeth, how much tooth paste to use as well as why tooth health is so important. The kids asked lots of great questions and learned a lot. At the end of the presentation, each student got to clean a yellow tooth with a toothbrush and make it pearly white.

On Friday, Nov. 21 we had our whole school assembly for November. We recapped our busy month and had two special presentations of Chloe Shingoose signing the National Anthem at the CFR as well as Mya Prehn doing her Dragon’s Den presentation. Our school had a lot to celebrate this month and we are now preparing for the busy December month, which we are practicing for all the upcoming Christmas concerts.
