Recent Highlights

Dear Sechrist Families,

Thank you for an amazing start to the school year! The students pick up where they left off and our new students have fit right in! Learning started right away! Kindergarten through 3rd graders have been reading nursery rhymes, fables, and fairytales while our 4th and 5th graders jumped right in to personal narratives.

We had our first Sechrist CARES celebration of Friday. Students were selected either by their teacher or by earning CARES tickets for being cooperative, accountable, respectful, empathetic, and safe. Popsicles in the courtyard were a hit!

September brings our first PTO meeting and the Fall Carnival. We hope you consider joining PTO our helping with one of the many family activities that take place. 

If you haven't already started following us on Instragram or Facebook, we would love to share more up-to-date information with you. It is also a great way for our families and friends to see all the wonderful things happening at Sechrist.
