🦃🍂 Friendsgiving Fun in Ms. Mac’s Class! 🍂🦃 Our Cubs in Ms. Mac’s class had the best Friendsgiving celebration today! As Active Collaborators, they worked together to disguise turkeys and even created their own turkey recipes. Their creativity was off the charts! 🎨🦃✨ They also stepped up as Effective Communicators, sharing what they’re thankful for and creating special potholders for their families — complete with handprint turkeys and sweet gratitude messages. 🖐️💛 The day was filled with laughs, learning, and lots of thankfulness… the perfect way to love, learn, lead at SCES! 💙🐾

🥧🎉 Pumpkin Pie Taste Test in Ms. Hutchins’ Class! 🎉🥧 This week our kindergarten Cubs in Ms. Hutchins class had a deliciously fun time! Students tried pumpkin pie and voted on whether they liked it or not… and guess what? Almost everyone gave it a big thumbs-up! 👍😄 This tasty activity let our Cubs practice being Effective Communicators as they shared their opinions and Empowered Learners as they made their own choices. Learning is always sweeter when we love, learn, and lead together! 💛📚🐾

🎉💙 More fun from our 67th Day of School celebration! 💛🎈 Many classrooms got creative with academic activities centered around the numbers 6 and 7! Students explored hands-on math tasks, number challenges, and engaging activities that made learning both meaningful and fun. 🔢✨ Our Cubs showed off their skills as Problem Solvers, Active Collaborators, and Empowered Learners — a perfect example of how we love, learn, and lead each day at SCES! 🐾📚💙 Check out a few more photos from this memorable day! 📸🎉

🍪🧁 Big & Little Chefs in Action! 🧁🍪

Our High School Culinary Arts seniors teamed up with their kindergarten buddies for a truly sweet learning experience — baking and decorating sugar cookies together! 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳💛

This wasn’t just about cookies — it was about leadership, learning, and laughter! 🎉 Seniors stepped up as mentors, guiding their little chefs through two fun-filled days of hands-on learning. From washing hands and measuring ingredients 🧼📏 to rolling dough and making icing 🎨🍬, everyone practiced real-world skills while mixing in tons of fun!

Our Cubs embodied our Profile of a Learner in every way:
💬 Effective Communicators – Little chefs introduced themselves with confident handshakes and asked thoughtful baking questions!
🤝 Active Collaborators – Big and little chefs worked side-by-side to create the perfect batch.
🌎 Engaged Citizens – Showing kindness, patience, and teamwork every step of the way.
🧠 Problem Solvers – Figuring out how to get the most cookies from their dough!
✏️ Empowered Learners – Kindergarteners couldn’t wait to write about their amazing experience!

It was two days filled with love ❤️, learning 📚, and leadership 🌟 — and maybe just a little extra sugar! 😉✨

Today our students had the exciting opportunity to hear from former SCES Cub and current WDRB Producer, Kylie Pollett! Kylie shared what it’s like to work behind the scenes at WDRB and offered valuable tips to help our Bearly News team continue to grow as effective communicators and active collaborators. Students were thrilled to share their own experiences producing our school newscast and loved hearing how the skills they’re learning now connect to real-world careers in media and storytelling. We’re so proud of our young journalists and thankful to Kylie for inspiring the next generation of storytellers! #SCESCubs #BearlyNews #EffectiveCommunicator #ActiveCollaborator #STLP #OnceACubAlwaysACub
