Posted May 21, 2021
Dear SKCEE Families, Happy Friday! This was a great week at SKCEE. It’s hard to believe the 2020-21 school year wraps up next week! Students had a great time observing the life cycle of butterflies and other insects this month. This week many classes got to celebrate and release their butterflies (and other bugs). What an exciting hands-on experience!
I would like to extend my sincerest thanks for the support and determination you have all shown to keep SKCEE up and running this year. Please review the reminders below to ensure a successful transition to summer vacation.
Gentle Reminders
Please continue to check the SKCEE Weekly Newsletter and our website for up to date information. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to sign up for office hours with the principal. (Office Hours Link Here) Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Matthew Johnson M.Ed.
