It was a hot weekend at IlliniosState University for the Track and Field events at the state level for Illinios Special Olympics, but that didn’t stop these athletes or their families from cheering them on from the stands.
Our Special Olympians are very excited about participating at the state level events at ISU this weekend. Thanks so much to our adminstration for the awesome send off with goodie bags!
For all you bargain hunters, here are the classroom supply lists for kindergarten through 4th grade! Also a reminder that if your student receives free/reduced lunches and you need help with acquiring school supplies, the school supply program (funded by the Sullivan Ministerial Association) fliers that were sent home with students are due in to the school NO LATER than June 15 (there is a box for them in the East entrance of the school).
SES parents, here is the preliminary calendar for next year. Dates in italics are subject to change. Dates in bold involve student attendance.
With 5th Grade moving to the middle school, Sullivan Elementary wanted one last picture as a team. We are sad to see them leave but we are excited that the middle school is getting three excellent and caring teachers in Mrs. Wilson, Ms. Heddins, and Mrs. Yoder.
More highlights from the first grade field trip !
Sullivan's first grade recently went on a field trip to Ballard Nature Center in Altamont. They spend the day exploring and learning about Illinois habitats. This is all thanks to the Illinois Biodiversity Grant. Thank you to The Danial and Ada Rice foundation, The Independence Tube Corporation, D.F. and M.T. Grohne Foundation and others for providing this opportunity .
Today at SES, students who had perfect attendance this year were awarded t-shirts commemorating the achievement. 5th Grader Addison Stollard received extra recognition as she will be leaving the elementary school without having been absent in all six years she has been in school! Great job!
In October, Mr. Campbell’s students wrote letters to veteran, Ron Fairley, who was preparing to travel on the Honor Flight from Springfield to Washington DC. Today, Mr. Fairley, his wife, and his grandaughter (who accompanied on the flight) came to SES to meet the students, to thank the students, and to share memories of their trip. Thank you Mr. Ron Fairley for your service!
The top fund raisers for this year's Jump Rope for Heart got to soak teachers with paint after the end of the year assembly!
