Jumpathon by the Golden Eagles

It's a fantastic time of year to celebrate! Our Golden Eagles are a group of self-started "do gooders" who want to make Southeast School an awesome place. Their goal has been to promote our Eagle Expectations on the playground. They meet at lunchtime to plan their next steps. The students created a fundraiser for Gina's Friends at Windham Hospital-a jump roping event. Everyone had a blast. I'm so proud of this unique group of students.  They raised over $280 that evening!  Special thanks to our teachers, Mrs. Burnham and Mrs. Proffer, who facilitate the committee. 

Horizon Wings Assembly

As a school wide celebration for a great year adhering to our new Eagle Expectations(respect, responsibility and safety) we invited the Horizon Wings Raptor Rehibilitation Team to showcase some their amazing raptors. We even had the opportunity to see a Bald Eagle (Atka) and a Golden Eagle (Chrysos).  The pride in the Eagles is breathtaking. Below is a picture of a Northern Saw-whet Owl named Sprite.  The students were mesmerized with the show. As proof of our excellent behaviors, the founding director of the program commented that we were one of greatest groups she has ever worked with! Special thanks to Mrs Irvine for organizing the program and to Mrs. Cooley for the great idea.

Suzuki celebration

Congratulations to our students who successfully completed a year of Suzuki instruction. The students were dazzled with the annual Suzuki tour this past week. We were so pleased with everyone's performance. Katarina and Amanda stole the show with their special performance. And we were thoroughly impressed with our middle school orchestra, and the various Sukuki performers from Vinton and Goodwin. Super job to our fantastic students and teachers!
