Lily, a seventh-grader at SMS, recently created a tactile sensory board for her Kids Make A Difference Service Project! Each year, Mr. Karb, Mrs. Lewandowski and Mrs. Gaffeny assign the seventh-grade students a service project, which includes writing a business letter to a non-profit they are passionate about and performing 4-6 community service hours. Lily wrote her letter to Hidden Angel Foundation, an organization formed in honor of her uncle, Christopher Dougals, and her great-grandmother, Joyce Baye. The Hidden Angel Foundation’s primary goal is to promote the use of multi-sensory environments in therapeutic, recreational, and educational settings. The sensory board she created will be donated to The Children's League.

SES 5th-grade students recently had the exciting opportunity to create their own metal sculptures in Art class. With guidance from High School Tech Teacher Mr. Timothy Baumgartner, students brought their original sketches to life using a plasma cutter — an experience that combined creativity with hands-on technical skills. Next, students will add color by spray painting their sculptures and enhance them with details and accents using paint markers. These unique creations will serve as lasting keepsakes of their hard work and creativity — a true life-long treasure.
What better way to welcome the weekend than with a rainbow! This one was spotted over Colden Elementary this morning!
