🍃 Adventure Awaits in Kindergarten! 🍃
Mrs. Haley’s class traded the classroom for the great outdoors today for an exciting nature walk! Our tiniest explorers put on their "observation hats" to discover the wonders of the world around them.
From spotting tiny insects to collecting interesting leaves and listening to the birds, it was a morning filled with curiosity and fresh air. There is so much to learn when the earth becomes your classroom! Watching these students connect with nature and practice their science skills in the wild was the absolute highlight of our day.
Great job, little trailblazers! Keep exploring and asking big questions. 🦋🌼🐢

It is officially Teacher Appreciation Week, and we are rolling out the red carpet for the absolute best educators around! At Strayhorn Elementary, our teachers are more than just instructors; they are mentors, cheerleaders, and innovators who go above and beyond every single day to spark curiosity in our students. From the early morning lesson planning to the late afternoon cheers in the hallway, their dedication to our children’s growth and success is truly inspiring. They pour their hearts into their classrooms, creating safe spaces for our students to learn, fail, and ultimately thrive. We are so incredibly proud of the passion and resilience our teaching staff brings to SES, and we know our community wouldn’t be the same without them. Please join us this week in showering our teachers with the love and gratitude they deserve—thank you for all you do to shape the future!

Today we are shining a very special spotlight on the leader who keeps Strayhorn Elementary moving upward and onward—our wonderful principal, Mrs. Ricks! It is School Principal Day, and we want to take a moment to honor the vision, heart, and dedication she pours into our school every single day. Being a principal means wearing many hats, and Mrs. Ricks does it all with grace, from cheering on our students in the hallways to supporting our teachers and staff behind the scenes. While we are going to miss her tremendously next year at SES, we are so excited for her as she transitions into her new role at the Central Office. We find so much comfort in knowing that she will still be nearby, looking out for our kids and supporting our district with the same passion she brought to our halls. Please join us in thanking Mrs. Ricks for her tireless leadership and wishing her the very best on her next big adventure!

Navigating the roads while keeping a bus full of energetic kids focused and safe is no small feat, and we are incredibly grateful for the patience and care they show our children every single mile of the way. Our drivers are the true "wheels" that keep our school moving forward, and we couldn't do it without them.
