The Shark Byte

Greetings Shark Families,

Students and teachers showed off their school spirit by participating in this month's Spirit Week. It was wonderful to see the battles between Universal versus Disney as well as the imaginative careers students wished for their futures.

Garden Club has successfully grown their potato crop! See the pictures below for a few of the amazing photos that shows off their hard work and dedicated green thumbs.

SECME will have an informational team meeting on Zoom on September 21st. Next week we will see more FIN-tastic classroom engagement. Don't forget that our Parent teacher conferences are coming soon as well as a special celebration for students who have completed the Summer Challenge.

Best Regards,

Andrew Moon, Principal

The students on B Day read STEM Club Trouble to Ms. Soto and Ms. Acharya classes on Friday. STEM Club Trouble is written by Florida authors (Rafael Robinson and Cheryl Henry). It also goes over an design process so the students were able to talk about the Engineering Design Process.

There will be an informational session on Thursday, September 21st at 7 PM. The zoom link will be provided in the SECME Remind group (@oscssecme). Students may attend during club time on Mondays for K-2 and Thursdays for 3-5. Our 6-8 are supporting the students on those days as well. Students do not have to attend during club time to be in SECME. They can compete and not attend club. We have two big competitions and a few that are held during the year. On Thursday, September 21st, we will go over the competitions, events, and tips for completing the projects.

Garden Club has reaped their bountiful potato crop! Students dug the potatoes from the ground and took them home!

To Ms. Rodriguez & Mr. Johnson:

Thank you for always, offering a friendly smile and a helpful hand during carline. Being there engaging with our students, parents & vendors everyday doesn't go un-noticed. You both are extremely important to our school and the hard work, time & dedication is much appreciated!
