With hallways filled with laughter and dancing SES students and staff crushed their costumes this year. A huge shout out to the parents who survived the morning costume-prep-chaos! #ShineSES #PantherPRIDE








Chief Clark's family made it possible for SES 5th graders to put their creativity to work as they used a pumpkin to provide 3D representation of their recent science research papers. #ShineSES #PantherPRIDE







There has been lots of Pumpkin Magic going on in the SES Preschool room this week. #ShineSES #PantherPRIDE




Some of the best smiles come from the little things, just like these pumpkins donated by Garden Gallery brought lots of joy to SES students today. #ShineSES #PantherPRIDE
