SES Parents...the west side parking lot, north entrance will be closed beginning Thursday evening and will not reopen until Monday. If you use the west parking lot for drop off in the mornings or afterschool pickup, you will have to ENTER AND EXIT through the south entrance. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please use extra caution when coming out of the west parking lot as the south opening is not a typical exit.

SES is proud of Amelia Melvin and Hazel Crothers. The students enjoyed seeing their fellow classmates in the show today. Great job ladies!

What an AMAZING show and experience for our K-5 students today. THANK YOU SES PTO!!

Sullivan Youth Sports would like to thank everyone who participated in the Future Redskins basketball program. We had 172 kids sign up to play! That is AMAZING!!

Thank you to all of the high school basketball players that also showed up on Saturday mornings to assist the program. We are also grateful for Coach Becker and Coach Campbell, representing middle school sports, for dedicating their time. This would not have been possible without great parent volunteers as well.
