We've had a blast celebrating our counselors this week. We've got the best around! If you see them out, please tell them how much you appreciate all that they do for our students!

Last call for Girls on the Run! They are needing 2 more runners and 1 more coach to sign up for the spring season at SRES. The sign-up information is also accessible in the SRES newsletter.

It's time to celebrate our second quarter SRES Honor Roll students!






Our staff was here early this morning ensuring our corporation is even safer for students. Our Emergency Response Team practiced their sudden cardiac arrest drill in order to be prepared if any emergency arises in our buildings. We're thankful for staff that put in time to make our corporation a better place!
SRES has a fun opportunity for Valentine's cards this year. Barksdale is offering us personalized Valentine's cards with school pictures included. $12 gets you a booklet of 36 Valentine's.

If you do not wish to keep them, please return them to school.
