SE Spartan Announcements

Good Morning Southeast students and staff. It's Thursday, October 12th, 2023! I’m _____________. 

Remember that successful Spartans ARE RESPECTFUL, they follow classroom and school wide expectations and allow for learning throughout the building.

It's week 2 of TeenTober and day 3 of celebrating characters - you'll need to visit the library to guess the character Ms. Thompson is dressed as today. HINT: it's from a children's picture book. You can take a guess for today or guess from the video on the announcements Tuesday or Wednesday. ALSO, if YOU are dressed as a character, visit the library and get entered in the drawing for the $25 gift card to AMC. Lots of ways to participate, but don't miss out. Ms. Thompson will draw the winner and announce it Friday during morning announcements, so get to the library today!
