A great time was had by everyone during the SES band alumni night. It was great to have so many SES band alumni join us for the basketball game.








Congratulations to Todd Baird on his retirement at the end of this school year. SES is now accepting applications to fill this opening with another talented and highly qualified Social Studies teacher. The posting can be found on the Educate Kansas website. Please share this message with anyone that may be a good fit for Southeast of Saline.
If your 4th-8th grade student enjoys singing, I encourage you to consider auditions for Salina Symphony Youth Choir!
Just as YMCA, club, Salina Rec, Legion, and Nights of Columbus league participation provides experience and improves our student athletes, so does participation in outside arts programs for our SES fine arts groups.
Consider Salina Symphony and any quality area music programs to enhance the skills and fill the intrests of your music lover!
