HOME AND SCHOOL NEWS
Hi SES Families,
As another school year comes to a close, the SES Home & School would like to thank you all for a fabulous 2024-25 school year! We have thoroughly enjoyed working with the school and with our families on a variety of projects throughout this school year such as - fundraisers, the school wide breakfast program, the lunch program, the school dances, staff appreciation, our social media awareness event, the community BBQ etc! We are so grateful for everyone who volunteered their time this year - without that incredible support, these things would never be possible!
We would also like to extend a huge thank you to our Executive Commitee members who are finishing up this year. Vanessa Campbell (Co-Chair), Kaylee Sanders (Co-Treasurer) and Emma Rockett (Co-Secretary) will all be hanging up their hats. Thank you for all of your commitment, your innovative ideas, and your positivity!
We have purposefully created "Co-Executive" positions in order to lighten the load for our executive committee, while simultaneously increasing input. We will be looking to fill these co-executive positions for the 2025-26 school year, so if you are interested in joining our Home & School in that capacity, please email Femke (Co-Chair) at femke_hakkers@hotmail.com.
On that note, we wish all of our SES families a safe, fun and relaxing summer and we will see you all in September!
Take good care!
