🦖🦕 Kindergarten Dino Adventure! 🦕🦖 Last week, our Sugarmill Kindergarteners went back in time and explored the fascinating world of dinosaurs! They: 🔍 Dug deep as paleontologists to uncover fossils. 🎨 Created their own dinosaur fossils. 📚 Learned all about different types of dinosaurs. ✏️ Wrote creative stories and waited all week to see what would hatch from the mysterious eggs! 🥚✨ Our hallways were transformed into a prehistoric paradise, and even our amazing teachers joined the fun by dressing up as dinos! 🦕 What an awesome way to head into spring break! Great job, little explorers! 🦖 #DinoWeek #Stegasaurus #TRex #SESEaglesSoar #SugarmillEagles #SpringBreakVibes #Eagles

Jax Zoo Field Trip! ☀️ This past Tuesday, our students from Mrs. Johnson’s class, Mrs. Mitchell’s class, Mrs. Jones’s class, and Mrs. Jeffcoat’s class took an exciting field trip to the Jacksonville Zoo! It was a beautiful, sunny day filled with fun, laughter, and unforgettable memories. We saw gorillas, giraffes, rhinos, lions, penguins, and so much more! 🦁🐵 After exploring the zoo, we enjoyed lunch together and shared our favorite animals of the day. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing teachers and parents who helped make this adventure possible! ❤️🐾 #ZooTrip #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #MakingMemories #SESEaglesSoar #SugarmillEagles

3rd grade student Bradley Hanson saw a need at his school and gathered his friends to help.  Bradley noticed that the blustery weather had scattered trash around the playground.   During an afternoon class meeting, he asked his friends to help clean the playground.  They made a list of tools they needed and a date to complete the project. Thanks to Bradley and his friends in Mrs. Brooks' class, our playground is clean once again.  Bradley's tip is to remember not to litter. SES is so proud of students like Bradley who pitch in to make our school great!

🏸 Shout out to Coach Joiner, Coach Matthews, and our awesome third grade Eagles! 🦅 This week in PE, they learned how to play badminton — including how to properly hold the racket, hit the birdie, and practice rallying with their classmates! We’re so proud of the skills they’re building and the fun they’re having while staying active. Great job, Eagles! Keep soaring! 💪👏 #SESEaglesSoar #SugarmillElementary #BadmintonBasics #SESStrong #PEFun

**Celebrating the Support of the SES PTO!** At Sugarmill Elementary, we truly believe that our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) is the best around! Their incredible generosity continues to impact our students in meaningful ways. Recently, they supplied our media center with brand-new t-shirts for the Extreme Readers' Club, and we couldn’t be more grateful! The Extreme Readers' Club is an inspiring initiative aimed at encouraging our 2nd to 5th graders to dive into the world of nonfiction literature. By reading about a variety of topics, students expand their knowledge and develop a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. To earn an official Extreme Readers' Club shirt, students must complete rigorous requirements—a challenge that inspires them to push their reading abilities to new heights. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to the SES PTO for their unwavering support and commitment to enriching our students' educational experiences. Your contributions make a difference every day, and we are excited to see our young readers proudly wearing their new shirts as they embark on their literary journeys. Thank you for being such incredible champions of our school's mission!
