SCES staff each received a fall-themed bottle of foaming hand soap with a tag reading "Thankful for the hands that help us learn" as a small token of our appreciation.

Please let them know how thankful you are if you get the chance! We're fortunate to have such dedicated, kind, compassionate staff at our school, from our cafeteria staff to our building staff to our administrators and educators.
