🌟 February Resiliency Trait: Problem-Solving 🌟
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.”
✨ “Always willing to step in and assist with situations and can be a calming effect.”
Thank you both for modeling resilience and showing us all the power of problem-solving through teamwork! 👏💛

We are getting SO excited for Read Across America Week as we celebrate Dr. Seuss and the importance of reading! 📚❤️

Our halls will be filled with amazing, fun, and silly spirit days as we remind our Little Pirates that reading opens the door to imagination, adventure, and lifelong learning.

We can’t wait to see everyone join in the fun and show their Pirate spirit all week long! ⚓📖

Oh, the places we’ll go when we READ! 🎉

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! 💙✨

Even though it’s February, we are still digging deep into our data and making intentional instructional plans and adjustments to ensure every Little Pirate gets exactly what they need! ⚓📊

Whether it’s remediation or enrichment, we are committed to meeting students where they are and helping them grow. Every student deserves a seat at the table — and at our school, every Little Pirate matters! 💙🏴‍☠️

✏️✨ Kindergarten Authors at Work! ✨✏️

Ms. Head’s kindergarten students have been hard at work strengthening their handwriting skills and writing complete sentences about their stories this week! 📝📚

From carefully forming each letter to stretching out words and adding details, these young writers are building strong foundations one sentence at a time. We are so proud of their focus, creativity, and growing confidence as authors! 💛

Keep shining, Kindergarten! 🌟

Parents,

We are so grateful to all the families who have already signed up and donated to Kids Heart Challenge 2026. Did you know that a percentage of the money raised goes towards buying new PE equipment for all the students at Southside? Also, by signing your student up, just for the free bracelet, it will help their teacher earn a $25 Amazon gift card. If at least 3 students in the class complete Finn's Mission, their teacher will earn another $25 gift card. Please help our school and your student's teacher complete our mission in reaching our goal of $9.000!! Right now, we have just over $6,000, which is wonderful! We have 13 days left in our mission to reach our goal! Last year we raised over $13,000 which was our best year yet!! Let's see if we can beat that goal! Thank you for all that you do in supporting your student.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Trammell
PE Teacher

Southside Elementary School second-grade students are mastering money skills through a fun, engaging, hands-on math activity.

Students created custom ice cream sundaes, then calculated costs, paid for each item, and built their own combinations using coins. This real-world learning experience helped students practice counting money, addition, and decision-making in a meaningful and memorable way.

Learning truly has never been sweeter.

Southside Elementary School's Pre-K students had a rockin' good time exploring music through hands-on learning. Students welcomed a special guest, Mr. Leary, who shared his collection of instruments, demonstrated how they work, and invited students to create music of their own, including experimenting with a didgeridoo.

The classroom was filled with curiosity, creativity, and joyful expression as students learned through sound, rhythm, and movement. Experiences like this support early learning by encouraging exploration, collaboration, and self-expression through the arts.
