SES Family News & Celebrations

I love this quote from my good friend who is a principal in Central Arkansas. These three years at SES have flown by as the principal. The kids in second grade have been at SES for three years and will soon move across the street. As these last few months come to an end for our 2nd graders, let's take every moment we can to stop and let the joy overwhelm us. They still need play so they can grow socially and emotionally in an ever-changing world.

Play with your child. Read with your child. Ask questions. Talk with your child. Listen to your child. Come eat lunch with your child. Spend every moment with your child because you will blink and they will be seniors.

Stay tuned to Smore, Facebook, Twitter, Our School Blog, and the School Website for more to come!!

Results from our first pop tab weigh-in:

Third Place: Mrs. Keen’s First Grade class with 14.5 pounds

Second Place: Mrs. Smith’s Kindergarten class with 16 pounds

First Place: Mrs. Johnson’s Second Grade Class with 42 pounds

Our school total so far is: 203 pounds!

We will be collecting pop tabs through the beginning of April, and we will let you know when the next weigh-in will be. We want to beat last year's record of 389 pounds! Remember, the winning class will get to take a field trip to the Pop Tab Pandemonium event to deliver the tabs. Great job, SES!

Book Journeys have been a BIG hit! Students are reading more and more each goal we set. This time around the kids read WAY over the reading goal of 300!!

The book journeys cover all grade level expectations for students too!

This year we are excited to be partnering with a fun, free, and truly easy fundraiser called Shoparoo! Schools nationwide are already earning hundreds and even thousands every year through Shoparoo and it’s a great opportunity for us to really make a difference this year!

Shoparoo is school fundraising made easy: The free app turns pictures of your everyday shopping receipts into cash donations and sweepstakes entries for our school! Yep, it’s that simple. No more cutting labels, selling door to door, or time-consuming coordinating. All you have to do is shop as you normally do, snap pictures of your receipts with the app, and voila Just shop, snap, earn!

Get started today:

1. Download the free Shoparoo app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store

2. Select our school from the list and start taking pictures of your receipts - shop anywhere, buy anything!

3. The first 20 supporters at our school will earn an extra $1 donation from Shoparoo for their first receipt!

4. Earn even more Roo Points, or cash donations, by inviting others to join using your personal referral code

5. You can even select a grade to support and have fun with grade competitions!

There’s no limit to how much money we can raise with Shoparoo - the more supporters, the more we will raise for our school. Schools with just 40 supporters are earning an average of $1,000 every year. That’s free, easy money that we could be fundraising too. Check out shoparoo.com to learn more about this awesome app!

Thank you for your support!

We are having a Box Top collection contest during the 2016-2017 school year. We will collect Box Tops from each class.

Box Tops Tips:

Please trim all excess off of all labels prior to turning them in; it saves us time and shipping. Please use the attached collection sheet and either glue or tape the box top in the square. Each filled page of box tops will amount to $3.00 and will be counted toward your child’s class. Please check the expiration dates prior to sending in. Bonus Box Tops have to be kept separate from regular box tops. Please make sure your child’s name and teacher are printed on the collection sheet. If you need more collection sheets, contact the office or your child’s teacher.
