Mansfield Teacher of the Year 2014 Announced!!

We are so proud to announce that our very own Mrs. Erika LaBella has been selected as the Teacher of the Year for Mansfield Public Schools. Those who have had the pleasure of working with her, and even those who haven't, know of the many talents she brings to our students each and every day. Southeast is fortunate, in my opinion, to have the lion share of outstanding staff members. It's just another great reason to celebrate all we do here at SE. We look forward to a formal ceremony in the Fall. In the meantime, please help us celebrate with Mrs. LaBella!

Mrs. Shay Day

We were fortunate to have the expertise of Mrs. Shay as our district Literacy Consultant. After 15 years in this role, she is retiring. We are sad to see her go, but celebrated in true SE style. Special thanks to the MANY teachers and students who were involved in our celebratory play written by our very own, Ms. Kamienski. What a show!
