​SSES students and staff will wear orange (or a brightly colored clothing item) on Wednesday, September 30th to show support and respect for the survivors of residential schools. #Every Child Matters

​Thanks for the generous and kind donations during the 2020 Toonies for Tummies campaign held at our Gimli Sobey's. This money will go towards our SSES Nutrition Program, which ensures that there is a fresh fruit basket in every K-4 classroom every day at SSES for all children to access.This year, we are planning on providing bananas which will enhance safety because of having to peel the fruit before eating. Thanks to all who donated, and a very special thank you to Gimli Sobey's, and The Grocery Foundation.

​Ms. Wood's Grade 1&2 Classroom has an important message for all of our SSES family. This.Is.Us. We are extraordinary in everything we do and we can accomplish anything we set our minds to!!

​Mrs. Poloski's Grade 3/4 students discussed how things have been very different in their lives and how some of these changes have made us feel sad/disappointed. They talked about the importance of having a positive mindset and how it helps to think about all the ways in which we are grateful. Using these strategies helps us to feel happy, hopeful, and to be better able to deal with adversity.

​Mrs. Michaluk's Grade 1/2 student self-portraits capture the curiosity and wonder of her young artists and learners. The students were very focused on the tiniest details and some even included their masks. Their class Twitter post received numerous comments noticing how capable, competent, and resilient children are and how their portraits demonstrated their strength and positivity. They even received a reply from a world famous children's author, Barbara Reid, who wrote, "This art reminds me how expressive and resilient kids are-and teachers too!" So powerful!
