Buffalo Bills victory Monday!

REMINDER: To celebrate the Bills victory today, we are going to allow the students to wear their favorite Bills shirt, hoodie, or jersey tomorrow! Note that these are not dress-down days, and normal school dress code rules will still apply, with the exception being that students may wear a Buffalo Bills themed shirt, jersey, hoodie, etc. on top.

Please let me know if you have any questions, and GO BILLS!

SECA Reward Activity

Hello Parents,

At SECA, we place high value on having good character. As such, we encourage good behavior with reward activities throughout the year for those who have fewer than 5 character essays for the current semester. This Thursday 12/11, we will be treating the students to Christmas cookies! They will be able to decorate - and eat - their own Christmas cookies, with loads of toppings to choose from! In addition, we will be showing a fun recap video of our first field trip to Stokoe Farms. This will be available for parents to view online afterwards, also.

The students are doing a great job so far this year, not only in their studies, but also in exhibiting Christ-like character. Keep up the good work!

In Christ,

Pastor Rickner

Correction: The school photos have been sent through a Google photos email, so they are more than likely in your Google photos. Sorry for the confusion.

School Pictures

Good morning all! The School pictures came in! They are all wonderful! Thank you Andrew! If you purchased a digital copy of your child(ren)'s pictures, they have been emailed to you. If you do not see them, check your spam, as they may have ended up there. : ) If you did not order a copy, you can still do so now if you desire. They are $5/child. Thank you! Have a blessed day!

Christmas Shirts

Hello Parents,

We are continuing the tradition of allowing students to wear positively-themed Christmas shirts (including t-shirts) to school during the month of December! Please no shirts that are negative (I hate Christmas, I was naughty this year, etc.) Other than the Christmas shirts, normal school dress code is to be followed, including regular modesty rules for the Christmas shirts. Students will not be allowed to dress down, wear sneakers, etc.

Let's spread some cheer and get into the spirit of Christmas this month at SECA!

In Christ,

Pastor Rickner

Gym Clothes today
