Recent Highlights

Our school was bustling on Wednesday evening with so many students and families building, exploring and discovering during STEM Night! Kindergarten Open House and Book Bingo were also a success. Thank you all for helping our school come alive!

We hope you get a chance to participate in Parent Teacher Conferences the week of March 2nd-6th. Many of our students will be leading their own conference and sharing the growth they have made since the beginning of the year!

We would like to hear from you as well. Here is the link to the Family Survey for the 2025-2026 school year. Please complete it by March 20th. Please click this link if you would like to view Mrs. Overton's slide presentation for the Governing Board from February 10th.

As we approach the 4th quarter of our school year, things actually start to speed up. We have AASA Test Prep Night on Wednesday, March 18th, our Family Dance on Thursday, April 7th and the Trojan Trot on Friday, April 24th. You are always encouraged to be here for any and all of our activities!

We hope you have a fun and safe Spring Break next week. School will be closed from March 9th-March 13th. We look forward to everyone coming back for the 4th Quarter on Monday, March 16th!

November in Review:

Our Band and Choir did an amazing performance of their Veterans Day Concert at The Peaks Senior Living Community as well as for our school. Sechrist's very own preschool teacher, Ms. Gray was nominated for Teacher of the Year! Our kindergarten friends spent time eating pie and learning with their 4th grade buddies. First graders marched through the hallways in the Balloons Over Sechrist Parade showing off characters from recent books they have read. The 2nd grade class concluded their Greek ELA unit with Potato Olympics. Third graders entertained families and fellow students with their Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock musical. Our 4th graders competed in the Battle of the Books finals for this semester and finished their Veterans Day essays. Some of them even got to share at the concert! Finally, the 5th graders collected 167 turkeys and $467 during their snowy turkey drive the week before Thanksgiving Break. We were also grateful to partner with Cub Scout Pack 7033 as they provided sides for families to have a complete Thanksgiving dinner.
