We Need Your Books!

Looking for a chance to de-clutter? The annual SCES Book Share is happening in early June. 

Starting this Thursday, there will be a bin under the canopy by the car circle for book donations. We need all kinds of gently used books to share with our students, particularly chapter books, French books, and graphic novels. (No board books or books with religious themes, please.) 

Each class at SCES will have a chance to stop by the book share for students to select a book to keep, and time will be set aside for virtual students to pick out a book, too. 

More details to come (including a call for volunteers), but for now, please take this opportunity to donate any books that your student(s) are ready to part with to SCES! 

GeoBowl 2021

GeoBowl will take place on June 9 from 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM via Zoom. Our organizing committee could use some assistance with technology. Please contact Jeremy Kanthor at jkantho@hotmail.com if you can help.
