Favorite SES tradition: The Christmas concert, the kids work so hard in preparation and sing so beautifully. And the school picnic! What a great way to celebrate their hard work throughout the year.
· Describe SES: Faithful community
· “I would say to the kids, ‘You are the reason we are here.’ And the sign by my desk says for each child, ‘God says you are UNIQUE, SPECIAL, LOVELY, PRECIOUS, STRONG, and CHOSEN.’ And lastly, have fun, learn lots, and be kind! I have three children who also attend school here and we are blessed to be a part of this community.”
