Principal Appreciation Day at SCES! 🎉💙🎓 Today, our Cubs celebrated Principal Appreciation Day in the most fun way—by dressing like Mr. Scott and Mrs. Dennis! 👔👩‍🏫 This special dress-up day was chosen by our Cub Easton after winning at the Fall Festival—what a creative idea! Mr. Scott and Mrs. Dennis loved seeing all the mini versions of themselves around the school and feel so lucky to lead such an amazing community of learners. Every day at SCES, we Love. Learn. Lead. 🐾💙

2nd Grade Hits It Out of the Park! ⚾️🚌✨ Our 2nd graders had a blast exploring the Louisville Slugger Museum! They got a behind-the-scenes look at how baseball bats are made—walking through the factory and seeing the process from start to finish! 🪵🔨 These young minds were empowered learners, asking thoughtful questions and discovering real-world career possibilities in action. What an inspiring day of curiosity, connection, and creativity!

Our Garden Club got creative this week! 🎨 Students used their artistic expression to paint beautiful rocks and repurposed recycled cans into adorable plant people! 🌱✨ We love seeing their creativity bloom both in and out of the garden. This is just one of the many awesome extracurricular activities our students get to enjoy! #GardenClub #CreativeKids #GreenThumbs #StudentLife #RecycledArt ♻️
