SAES appreciates our Nutrition Department and Cafeteria Staff for all of the many ways they make lunchtimes fun and special! On Thursday, January 16th, the students celebrated "Snowman Day" with a special guest and a special "tasty bite" s’more dessert for everyone that purchased a meal. "Wellness Day", which encourages the students to try a new fruit or vegetable, was also celebrated. Students receive a sticker if they try the food item.
Thank you to our amazing Cafeteria Team for helping to make these early elementary years so special and memorable!
Fifth graders began a new Language Arts unit on the Renassiance this week. Today, students enriched their learning of Donatello's sculptures by carving soap!
Weekly Math Fun: Create Pattern Bracelets! 🎨✨
This week, let’s explore patterns and creativity by making your own bracelets! Gather materials like beads, pasta, or other small items and design repeating patterns to string together. Experiment with different patterns—alternate colors, shapes, or sizes to make unique designs. Challenge your child to predict what comes next in a sequence or create their own patterns.
This activity is a fantastic way to develop math skills like recognizing sequences while encouraging creativity and fine motor development.
Stay tuned for next week's activity, where we’ll explore a fun and engaging way to bring math to life through movement!🕺📐✨
Has your student left something at school? 🧥👕🧢 Check out our Lost and Found items and comment below if you recognize an item so we can return it to you!

The safety of our students is always our top priority. Please assist us in maintaining their safety. To alleviate congestion at the pick-up area, we will be implementing the following measures.
◀️Following the concert, we ask that any audience members who are leaving for the evening and are NOT picking up students please exist to the left of the auditorium and go out the HIGH SCHOOL doors in front of the cafeteria.
◀️For our parents who are picking up students:Please send no more than 1 - 2 adults to pick up your student. Students will be brought up from their classrooms in grade-level order, beginning with our Kindergarten and 1st grade students. Teachers will bring their students up the ramp and will meet with parents at the entrance to the elementary pod.
◀️If you are a parent of an older grade level student, please kindly wait in the auditorium while our younger grade levels are picked up.
EXCITING ECLIPSE!
We’re still uncovering fun solar eclipse activities that took place around SAES! Many classrooms did eclipse-themed crafts that helped students see how the brief alignment of the Earth, moon and sun cause a solar eclipse.
