SES Parents...the west side parking lot, north entrance will be closed beginning Thursday evening and will not reopen until Monday. If you use the west parking lot for drop off in the mornings or afterschool pickup, you will have to ENTER AND EXIT through the south entrance. We apologize for the inconvenience. Please use extra caution when coming out of the west parking lot as the south opening is not a typical exit.

SES is proud of Amelia Melvin and Hazel Crothers. The students enjoyed seeing their fellow classmates in the show today. Great job ladies!

What an AMAZING show and experience for our K-5 students today. THANK YOU SES PTO!!

Sullivan Youth Sports would like to thank everyone who participated in the Future Redskins basketball program. We had 172 kids sign up to play! That is AMAZING!! A special thank you to our High School basketball coaches, Coach Toler and Coach McCain, for volunteering their time to help. Thank you to all of the high school basketball players that also showed up on Saturday mornings to assist the program. We are also grateful for Coach Becker and Coach Campbell, representing middle school sports, for dedicating their time. This would not have been possible without great parent volunteers as well. Thank you to Coach Wickline, Coach VanDeursen, Coach Atchison, Coach Foster, Coach Rubush, Coach Huber, Coach Richter, Coach Florey and Coach Sanner. A huge shoutout to Dr. Walk, who gives his guidance and leadership to this program. The future looks bright for Sullivan Basketball! Sincerely, Nicole Monroe Sullivan Youth Basketball Coordinator
