Class dismissed!!🎉 We want to wish you a fun and safe summer break☀️ See you in August!
CONGRATS to our quarter 4 award winners! This semester we also congratulated several 4th grade boys who read 20 books from the Red & Gold program, and our students who had perfect attendance all year!
Thanks to the LaGrange County Sheriff's and Prosecutor's Office, Parkview, REMC, and the Shipshewana Fire Dept for our 4th grade Health & Safety Day! Thank you also to the parent volunteers! Students enjoyed learning and participating in ways to stay healthy and safe. We are so thankful for a community who values educating our children!
Field Day was a hit! ☀️ The kids had a blast running relays, playing games, and enjoying a full day of outdoor fun in beautiful weather. A HUGE thank you to Mr. Hart for his creativity and hard work in making this day so special. Our students had the best time!
Our final ⭐ All Star Spotlight ⭐ of the year goes to Kara Short!
Mrs. Short has been a dedicated 3rd grade teacher at SES for 11 years, and she was once a student at this very school herself!
She truly shines with her creativity. She is always finding fresh, effective ways to manage her classroom while making learning fun and engaging. Mrs. Short isn’t afraid to get a little silly (goose) to bring joy to her students’ day, and it’s clear that teaching is more than just a job to her—it’s her passion!
Thank you, Mrs. Short, for the energy, heart, and dedication you bring every single day. We’re so lucky to have you! 💫
The 4th graders did an absolutely amazing job preparing for and executing their wax museum project! From the very beginning they displayed an impressive level of dedication- diving deep into their research to truly understand the different animals, places, or people they chose to represent. Their hard work was on full display during the event itself, where they showed off their collective knowledge to the students, staff, and their parents. We are so proud of all their hard work!
Our 2nd graders had a blast on their field trip to Science Central yesterday! They spent the day exploring, discovering, and learning in the most hands-on way. It was such a fun experience for everyone!
Student supply lists for 2026-2027 school year!
THANK YOU to Shipshewana Popcorn for the delicious slushies! Our 4th graders loved using their hard-earned trivia money on a fun and tasty treat!
The 4th graders had an exciting time celebrating Glow Day on Friday! Classrooms were filled with glowing neon colors and activities under black lights. It was a memorable day full of glowing fun for everyone involved!
Happy National Speech Language Pathologist Day! We’re so grateful for Karen Nieves, who works closely with each of her students and meets them right where they are. Her kindness, patience, and fun spirit make a lasting impact every single day. Thank you, Miss Nieves, for all that you do!
Our kindergarteners had a wild time exploring the Fort Wayne Zoo last week! So many smiles, new discoveries, and fun memories 🐾🦒
Our 1st graders took a step back in time this week with a visit to David Rogers Park! The LaGrange County Parks Department shared the fascinating history of David Rogers and the impact he had on our county. Students explored the historic cabins and buildings, imagining what life was like long ago, and even got to try their hand at some colonial-era games. It was a fun and meaningful way to bring history to life!
This past week our 4th graders participated in the "Junior Achievement in a Day" program. Volunteers came to guide our students in real-world concepts like entrepreneurship, career exploration, and smart money management. The lessons were interactive and collaborative. Thank you to the volunteers who made this possible!
Our 3rd graders visited the South Bend Chocolate Company and Howard Park yesterday! They learned about how chocolate is made; how it starts from a cacao bean and ends up as a product in a store! And of course they sampled some sweets!🍫
They also had the opportunity to hike the Continental Divide trail, where they saw buffalo, old Studebaker cars, and even some dinosaur fossils. They ended the day eating lunch and playing at Howard Park!

Our 4th graders knocked it out of the park! ⚾️📚
Students who read 10 books through our Read for Red & Gold program (partnered with the South Bend Cubs) earned a special trip to the game last Friday! What an unforgettable experience! The students got to walk out onto the field, meet the mascot, and collect some autographs! Our school was even recognized during the game.
We are so proud of these readers for their hard work and dedication. Way to go, 4th graders!❤️💛

Last Friday, our students bundled up and braved a very chilly morning as they walked to Mayfest, and it was well worth it!
They were treated to an entertaining performance by magician Jim Barron, who kept everyone laughing and amazed. Many of our students also had the opportunity to enjoy performances by Westview’s talented jazz band and choir!
We love being part of a community that celebrates together. Our small town’s annual traditions make memories our students will never forget! 💙
