🌟 Happy Georgia Pre-K Week, Eagles! 🌟
Recently, our youngest Eagles had so much fun celebrating with a Sugarmill Spirit Day and outdoor fun with friends! 💙💛
This week (October 6 – 10) we’re joining schools across the state in recognizing the importance of early learning. Our Pre-K students even received a special book — Every Amazing Story — from Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp, written by Coy Bowles and Malcolm Mitchell. 📚✨
We’re so proud of our littlest learners and their amazing teachers who make every day an adventure in learning and growing! 🦅💛

The book sparked curiosity and movement as students acted out parts depending on which character was speaking. This powerful story encourages kids to think about empathy, respect, and valuing all living things—big or small. 🌎❤️

SCIENCE + MATH FUN in 2nd Grade! 🎉
Our 2nd graders had two awesome hands-on learning experiences last week:
✨ Place Value Practice
Students used Cheez-Its as hundreds, pretzels as tens, and M&Ms as ones to build and represent 3-digit numbers. A salty & sweet way to bring base-ten place value to life!
✨ States of Matter Coke Floats
Science got delicious as students explored how solids, liquids, and gases change while enjoying an ice cream Coke float experiment. Learning never tasted so good!
Way to go, 2nd grade Eagles— and shoutout to our 2nd grade teachers for making math & science both fun and memorable for students!! 🦅💙💛

Our 5th grade families joined us for an engaging Tech Night to explore the tools and resources students use every day in the classroom! Parents and students logged in together, learned how to access online resources from home, and explored Google Classroom, grades, and more.
We also touched on the important role Title I plays in supporting our students’ education here at SES. Strong partnerships between school and home are what help our Eagles soar, and we are so grateful for our families’ involvement! 🦅💙💛
A huge thank you to our 5th grade teachers for organizing this informative family and community engagement opportunity!

Did you know that during World War I, the Allied Forces introduced the idea of “Dazzle Ships” to confuse German U-Boats? The bold, geometric camouflage designs didn’t hide the ships—instead, they made it difficult for the enemy to tell which direction the ship was traveling. Even a split-second of hesitation could save lives.
Recently, our 5th graders in Mrs. Hutchinson’s class became members of the WWI Camoufleur team and designed their very own dazzle ships! Students combined history, creativity, and problem-solving to create artwork that was both meaningful and eye-catching. 🎨📚
We are so proud of their hard work and dazzling designs! 🦅 Thanks, Mrs. Hutchinson, for inspiring and challenging our 5th grade students!!

We had a wonderful turnout of grandparents and loved ones who joined their Eagles for a delicious breakfast and sweet memories together. The smiles, hugs, and happy conversations made this event such a huge success!
A big thank you to our amazing Eagle Café team for the tasty biscuits and breakfast that fueled the fun.
We are so grateful for the love and support of our Eagle families—our students are lucky to have you! 💛

Our little learners worked so hard during physical and occupational therapy with Mrs. Alicia and Mrs. Marsha. Students practiced fine motor skills by tearing and gluing paper to make apple crafts 🍎, built hand strength and coordination while rolling toy trucks through paint and bubble wrap 🚗, and worked on coloring and tracing activities that support focus and control.
A huge shoutout to our wonderful paraprofessionals—Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Butler, and Mrs. Cheryl—for always jumping in with helping hands and big hearts. 💛
We are so proud of all the growth, smiles, and teamwork in this classroom—way to go, Eagles! 🦅✨

We didn’t just meet our first Beanstack reading goal of 65,000 minutes—we soared right past it with 70,030 minutes logged! 🦅👏
To celebrate, students enjoyed a popsicle treat during lunch yesterday! 🍦💙
But we’re not stopping there… our new goal is 130,000 minutes of reading as a school! Let’s keep up the momentum, keep turning those pages, and show just how high Eagles can fly! 🚀✨
Let’s go, Eagles! 💪📖

Our 2nd graders have been busy turning math into something delicious!
👉 In Mrs. Latess’s class, students surveyed the colors in a bag of Skittles, created tally marks and bar graphs, and then answered questions about the data. Talk about learning that’s both colorful and tasty! 🌈
👉 In Mrs. Valdez’s classes, students wrapped up their graphing unit with a hands-on activity using Fruit Loops—counting, sorting, and graphing their way to sweet success! ✨
We love seeing our Eagles engaged, excited, and having fun while learning math!
