Spencer County Elementary School

💙✨ Happy Assistant Principal Appreciation! ✨💙 Today we celebrate the amazing Mrs. Dennis! 🐾💫 You never quite know what you’ll see her doing around the building—helping in classrooms, supporting teachers, greeting students, solving problems, or jumping in wherever she’s needed most. And that’s exactly what makes her so special! 🙌 Everything she does, she does with one purpose in mind—because she loves our Cubs and wants the very best for our school. 💙 Her heart, dedication, and leadership make a difference in ways big and small every single day. Mrs. Dennis truly embodies what it means to be an Engaged Citizen and Empowered Leader, and we are so lucky to have her at SCES! 🌟 We appreciate you more than words can say—thank you for helping us love, learn, and lead every day! 🐾💙

Cub Families: A reminder that there is no school on Monday, April 6th. We are excited to see our Cubs on Tuesday!

💻🤖 Tech Night in Action! 🤖💻

Browning, Klaus, & Metts classes hosted an awesome Tech Night where students became the teachers! 👏✨ Our Cubs showed their families how to use classroom technology like Ozobots, Indi Coding Cars, and Sphero robots. 🚗🔵

Students truly shined as Effective Communicators and Empowered Learners, confidently explaining, demonstrating, and guiding their parents through hands-on tech experiences. It was amazing to see their knowledge and leadership on display! 💡💬

We love watching our Cubs love, learn, and lead—especially when they get to teach us! 💙🐾

🌱🌼 Growing Learners in Kindergarten! 🌼🌱 Ms. Hutchins’ kindergarten Cubs had an amazing visit to the FFA Greenhouse with Mr. Dunaway’s class! 🌿👩‍🌾👨‍🌾 Students toured the facilities, learned how plants grow, and discovered how a greenhouse works. The fun didn’t stop there! Our Cubs painted their own pots 🎨 and planted baby plants 🌱 that will stay in the greenhouse until they return next month to check on their growth—how exciting! This hands-on experience helped our students grow as Empowered Learners and Engaged Citizens, exploring science in a meaningful and memorable way. 💡🌎 A big thank you to the SCEF for funding this incredible learning opportunity! 💙 At SCES, we continue to love, learn, and lead—getting our hands a little dirty along the way! 🐾🌿

Moments like these help build confidence, courage, and a love for reading! 💬📖 We love seeing our students love, learn, and lead—rain or shine! 💙🐾
