Please join us in congratulating Ms. Connell and Ms. Allgood for being recognized for exemplifying the resiliency trait of Problem-Solving this month!
These two outstanding educators consistently demonstrate what it means to come to solutions by working together and supporting those around them. 💙
Their peers shared:
✨ “Always accepts new problems that come their way and solves them with grace.”

Thank you both for modeling resilience and showing us all the power of problem-solving through teamwork! 👏💛

🎨 The Impact of the Art Millage at Southside Elementary 🎨
The Art Millage has made a meaningful difference at Southside Elementary School. Because of this support, our students now have the opportunity to participate in a dedicated art class—an experience that allows them to explore creativity, express themselves, and develop new skills beyond the traditional classroom.
Art provides our students with a powerful outlet for imagination and problem-solving while helping build confidence and pride in their work. We have already seen how much this opportunity means to our students and families, and we are incredibly grateful for the support that made it possible.
Thank you to our community for investing in programs that enrich the educational experience for every Little Pirate! 🏴☠️🎨 https://www.canva.com/design/DAHDpBTL41w/8QPH7HtOWK2riub2TB3D8A/view?utm_content=DAHDpBTL41w&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=hb9852d67ef

Our Kids Heart Challenge has officially wrapped up for the year! Yesterday was full of laughter and excitement as our top fundraisers celebrated in a big way.
Our three highest-earning classes and students earned the chance to slime Ms. Trammell and Dr. Weber, and the top three individual fundraisers even got to pie them! 🥧
A huge shoutout to Ms. LaChapelle, Ms. Ski, and Ms. Crew’s classes for their incredible efforts in raising funds. We are so proud of the dedication shown by our students and families who supported this important cause.
Not only are we helping raise money for the American Heart Association, but these funds also help us keep our PE equipment updated so our students can stay active and healthy.
Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event such a success! ❤️🏃♂️

Ms. Head’s kindergarten class had a special visit from Dr. Porter of Lofton Creek Smiles! Our little learners discovered all about dental hygiene — from proper brushing techniques to the importance of keeping those smiles healthy and bright. 😁
Thank you, Dr. Porter, for taking the time to teach our students such important lifelong habits. We love partnering with our local community helpers! 💙

Our amazing 2nd graders in Ms. Cacciapouti’s class have been spreading kindness all around campus! Students began by writing thoughtful words to describe one another inside a heart — filling our classroom with positivity and encouragement. 💗
Then, they took their kindness beyond the classroom by completing random acts of kindness throughout the school! They:
• Helped Pre-K students pack up
• Read with 1st graders
• Assisted Ms. Hicks in the library
• Picked up trash on the playground
• Supported Ms. Johns and Ms. Trammell with their kindergarteners
• Helped Ms. Whedon with her instruments
To top it off, each student reflected in writing about how their act of kindness made them feel — and the responses were heartwarming! 💙
We are so proud of these thoughtful leaders who are learning that even small acts can make a BIG difference. 💫

Yesterday we celebrated our amazing SES Bus Drivers! 🚌💛
We surprised them with morning snacks and heartfelt thank-you notes to show just how much we appreciate everything they do. Rain or shine, early mornings and long afternoons — they always put our students first and ensure they arrive to and from school safely each and every day.
Our bus drivers are often the first smiling faces our students see in the morning and the last caring goodbye in the afternoon. Their patience, dedication, and commitment do not go unnoticed!
Thank you for being such an important part of the SES family. We appreciate you more than words can say! 💙✨
