SES News

SES loves their bus drivers!  Members of our SES Student Leadership Council handed out special thank-you gifts to our SES bus drivers in appreciation of all they do to care for our SES students.

SES Field Day was filled with fun, laughter, and school spirit! Students enjoyed a variety of games, cooled off on the waterslide, and cheered enthusiastically during the exciting tug-of-war competitions. A special shout-out to our third-grade recorder students, who proudly performed the SES school cheer during the whole-school ceremony. Their performance was a wonderful way to celebrate a fantastic day together!

SES students and staff recently came together for three days of Walkathon activities celebrating school spirit, teamwork, and healthy fun. Organized by the SES Student Leadership Council, this year’s event supported Person-to-Person, a local organization that helps families in need. The annual tradition featured theme days, obstacle courses, and plenty of encouragement from students, staff, families, and volunteers.

We’re so proud to celebrate Saugatuck’s 11th annual One Book, Two Schools initiative! Thanks to our amazing SES PTA, every family received a copy of Wildlife Rescue: How to Save an Owl by Kate Messner. Over the past two weeks, students and families have been reading together at home while also enjoying special moments at school.

Our PTA hosted a wonderful “Rise and Read” event in the Library Media Center, bringing together students and families for a joyful start to the day. Participants gathered to share books, build connections, and enjoy light morning snacks in a warm and welcoming space. It was a great example of our school community coming together to celebrate the love of reading. 

We are so proud of our Student Leadership Council for leading this year’s annual Souper Bowl food drive in partnership with the SES PTA! Students brought in non-perishable food items and cast their “vote” by placing donations in cans supporting either the Patriots or the Seattle Seahawks. The competition was spirited, the cans were overflowing, and our community showed up in a big way! While the Seahawks ultimately won the Super Bowl, everyone wins with this fundraiser.
