Greetings From Mr. Estes... | |
Dear SASEAS Families,
Last Friday I was fortunate enough to spend the day with two Principals for the Day, Colin and Nora. It was great for me to be able to experience a student's perspective of my requirements (that I was able to share) on that day. I also enjoyed just being able to spend some extra time with them and getting to know each of them a little better. Despite my best efforts, I don’t really get as much direct interaction with students as I would like; our time together was a good reminder that I need to prioritize this more regularly.
As we kick off the holiday season, we will be celebrating Halloween next Tuesday, October 31. Once again students in grades K-5 will be wearing their costumes to school on that day, please be mindful of this as you are selecting their costumes. As always, please also be mindful of general appropriateness as well, no blood, gore, or weapons please. Grades 6, 7, and 8 students may come to school out of uniform dressed in halloween colors. They may also wear halloween accessories, they may not wear masks or actual costumes. Please follow other normal out of uniform policy guidelines on this day as well. If you are able, please join us for our annual parade which will begin outside the front entrance of the school at 2:30.
While I’m on the subject of holidays, I hope everyone received and read the Option C notice last week about a new Advent/Christmas program that will be happening this year. Thank you to Mrs. Niehaus for coordinating this and devoting time to preparing an event to celebrate this incredibly significant time in our year. I am very excited that our entire K - 8 student body will be coming together to present this new program to families. We are communicating this early with the hope that you will mark the date, December 5, on your calendars; the program will start at 7:00 and should last about one hour. Please see reminders for more details about this and other school events.
Seek out your blessings and make it a great week!
Paul Estes

Dear Preschool families,
SASEAS Preschool is having a week filled with Halloween fun! The Preschool Trick-or-Treat is on Thursday evening at 6:00. Preschool students and their families can trick-or-treat through the hallways of the school. The month of October will conclude with class Halloween parties on Monday, October 30, for the 3-day classes and Tuesday, October 31 for the 2 and 5-day classes. We would like to thank all our room parents for their hard work planning and organizing our preschool Halloween parties.
Mrs. Maura’s three-year-old classes are talking about Pumpkins. They are learning to draw pumpkins and are painting paper pumpkins and adding shape faces to them. In religion they are learning the “If I Were a Butterfly” song. Mrs. Christina’s three-year-old class is making a square in art, and learning to draw Frankenstein. In math they are working on predicting what comes next in a pattern. They are exploring the textures smooth and bumpy, and in religion they are learning that God made them and they have the sense of touch.
The four-year-old classes have a Halloween theme this week. They are working on a “Counting Spiders” book in math. The fours are also focused on their fine motor skills, playing and working with orange playdough and pumpkin tangrams. In science they are using a balance to weigh and compare various Halloween items and are creating a monster balloon head with a chemical reaction!
The five-year-old class is counting eyeballs and spiders in math, and they are practicing their writing as they find the missing letters from their sight words caught in a spider web. They are hunting for Halloween words hidden around their classroom and then “writing the room”. They are creating exploding ghosts in science using a chemical reaction.
Parents, please be on the lookout for Conference sign ups. Preschool Parent Teacher
conferences are on November 2nd and 3rd. If you haven’t seen a sign up for your child’s class, contact the preschool office and we will get you signed up for a Conference. Remember that there will be no school for preschoolers on these conferences days.
