Yesterday, our kindergartners enjoyed an exciting Fire Safety Puppet Show! The engaging puppets taught them important lessons about fire safety. Our Lobos had a great time while learning valuable safety tips in a fun and interactive way! A big thank you to the presenters for making this event so memorable. Be sure to ask your kindergartner about their favorite part of the show! #Lobos #onepack #SSE

Our Lobos had an incredible assembly featuring professional speaker Corey Greenwood and singer Hannah Nicolaisen! Corey shared his inspiring ACTive KINDness program, teaching us the power of kindness and positivity as part of our PBIS initiative. He reminded us of the amazing superpowers we all have: ✨ Your Words ✨ A Smile ✨ Any Act of Kindness Hannah’s beautiful performance added something truly special, filling the room with music and energy. The students loved the lively sessions, full of fun, laughter, and meaningful messages about making a difference. And don’t forget to check out the video of our amazing lobos singing their hearts out! It was a moment of pure joy and community. Thank you, Corey and Hannah, for helping us create such a memorable day! Let’s keep spreading kindness, SSE! #ACTiveKINDness #Onepack #SSEStrong
