Students in Mrs. Newbill’s 2nd grade class worked hard and earned tokens to use in our Roadrunner Readers book vending machine. Their dedication and effort paid off with a brand-new book of their choice!
We are so proud of these young readers and their commitment to learning. Keep up the great work, Roadrunners! 💙✨

Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and we are so proud of the leaders you are becoming. Keep up the amazing work — the future is bright at SBE!

This Valentine’s season, remind your child that what they share online lasts longer than candy hearts! Even if something is deleted, unkind words or images can stay online and continue to hurt others.
✨ Tech Tip:
Encourage your child to spread kindness online by sending a positive message or compliment to a friend, classmate, or family member.
Remind them that small, kind actions online can brighten someone’s day—just like a real-life Valentine!
