Good Afternoon Swansfield,
We’ve had another busy week at SES! MCAP testing has come to an end for all students in grades 3rd - 5th. Thank you to the students for putting forth their best effort on this assessment. A special thank you to Mr. Carter & Mrs. Madden for leading this work. Your organization and attention to detail made this testing window smooth.
On Thursday night we had our inaugural “Evening with the Stars” event. All the students in the school had work on display in their classrooms. We also had a group of 4th & 5th grade students that showcased their skills in the talent show portion of the evening. Thank you to our 5th grade ITL, Aja Clanton, for organizing this event.
The last “thank you” of this week goes to our amazing PTA for the Justin Berk assembly that took place today @ SES! We appreciate you for allowing our students to have this opportunity.
Wishing everyone a restful & relaxing holiday weekend!
~ Anthony J Esposito, Principal
