All of 2nd grade is “traveling the world” for Christmas!! We are learning about the traditions, decorations, and foods in 10 different countries!! Last week, Mrs. Phenix 2nd graders visited” Mexico and France!
For Mexico, they learned the legend of the Poinsettia flower that is used to decorate lots of trees in Mexico around Christmas! The class made their own paper ones to put in their scrapbooks!
For France, they learned about the Yule Log Cake the people of France eat in remembrance of the Yule Logs they used to burn at Christmas time! Students were allowed to decorate their own “Yule Logs!”
Mrs. Phenix said, "It’s been fun so far and we look forward to the next few places we are going to “travel” to!"

"Showing gratitude is one of the simplest yet most powerful things humans can do for each other." (Randy Pausch)
The high school held its monthly Rising Higher - Soaring Together assembly. During the assembly, the cheerleaders, poms, basketball, and wrestling teams were recognized as their season officially started today.
Two students from each grade and a staff member who personified the November Character Trait of the Month, gratitude, were also recognized. The winners are freshmen Jessica LaForet and Caden Collinson; sophomores Ella Olms and Keagan Hudson; juniors Elayna Vehrs and Blake Alexander; and seniors Shawntae Roper (will update picture) and Carter Mason. The staff member is Mr. Josh Pritchett.
From Mrs. Martin's Kindergarten Classroom: Today we concluded our activities about gratitude with a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. My kindergarten students shared with classmates why they are thankful for them and enjoyed eating the same foods Charlie Brown and his friends ate at their Thanksgiving feast.
SES 1st graders started off the day right with a Thanksgiving Breakfast!
Mrs. Setzer’s first grade class had a fun day of investigating pumpkins. Students did sink or float, measured height and width using cubes and paper clips and then got messy counting seeds. Great day of learning!
