Today at SCES, we had the honor of celebrating some truly incredible educators and staff members as they begin their well-deserved retirements. 💙🎉🍎 ✨ Mrs. Becky Ingram has dedicated 33 years to teaching and has made a lasting impact on countless students, families, and staff members throughout her career. ✨ Mrs. Laurie Blumeier has served in education for 32 years, including 27 wonderful years at SCES. Her dedication and love for students will always be remembered. ✨ Mrs. Jenny Koestel, our school mental health therapist for the past 5 years, has touched the lives of so many students with her kindness, compassion, and support. We also want to recognize Mrs. Debby Cannon, who retired in Fall 2025. Many students lovingly knew her as “Princess Debby” while working alongside Mrs. Hutchins. 👑💐 Thank you all for your years of service, dedication, and love poured into SCES. Your impact will continue for generations to come. ❤️ We will miss you dearly and wish each of you a joyful, relaxing, and blessed retirement! 🎓🍎🌟

📚🎉 The winners of the March AR Challenge officially collected their prize today… temporary tattooing Mr. Scott & Mrs. Dennis! 🤪🐻 The classes with the highest AR points in each grade level got the chance to turn our admin team into walking sticker books 😂 💥 Mr. Scott tried to act tough… until the face tattoos came out. 💥 Mrs. Dennis now has enough temporary tattoos to qualify as a biker member. 💥 At one point we lost count of how many were added. 💥 Turns out reading skills also improve tattoo placement accuracy 🎯🤣 💥 Somewhere in the building there’s still probably a leftover tattoo backing stuck to somebody’s shoe. Our Cubs worked so hard during the March reading challenge, and we loved celebrating all their amazing AR success in such a fun way! 📖❤️ Reading really does leave a mark at SCES 😎📚 #SCES #LoveLearnLead #ARChallenge #TattooTheAdmin #CubsWhoRead #ReadingFun
