A NOTE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT
Mr. Richard Proffitt
Superintendent
In early November, Southeast of Saline Schools will be hosting a new web-site. After long discussions with staff members and
patrons, it was clear that our current web-site was not as userfriendly, timely or as informative as it needed to be. The new format
will contain all the information that is currently on our web-site, but
will be organized in a way that will allow for quick reference.

it is up and running, we would invite suggestions from our community so that we can make the site as informative as possible.
We will provide links to our other social media tools, like Facebook and Twitter, on the web-site so that we can increase our

go. Our web address will not change. It can be found at

Prairie Patch Craft Show
Saturday, November 16 from 9-4.
This family-oriented event is held in all three of our gymnasiums and the high
school commons area. It is a major fund raising event for our school which is
sponsored by the SES Education Foundation. We serve homemade food in our
concession stand and offer a rich quality of various vendors from the area and
surrounding states. FREE ADMISSION. We are proud to offer wide aisles and
generous booth spaces which allows accessibility to our families with wheelchairs and strollers. The first Prairie Patch event was held 15 years ago with
20 vendors in one gym, my how we have grown!
Parking: As many of you realize, parking is at a premium for this event. We encourage our
SES family to park “far away” from the building or north of the football field in order to allow
our guests preferred parking spaces. Thank you for your consideration.
Thanks for your support of the SES Education
Foundation and their projects. The Foundation
supports students and staff in a variety of ways.
It’s a wonderful way to Leave A Legacy through
gifts to honor or memorialize a person or special
occasion.

Fall Vocal Music Concert
On October 24th the junior and senior high
choirs had their annual Fall Concert in the
gym. Why the gym? Because it is important
for each of the choirs to see and support
each of the other choirs. It is also a great
way to see and hear the progression of skill
and literature as the choirs progressively
increase in experience. Because of the
numbers of students enrolled in choirs, this
annual concert is held in the gym.
The concert title was, “Love.” The title fits
the theme of a variety of songs songs from
all genres, but all about some form of love.
Each of the choirs performed
several pieces with a love connection,
including, love for a friend, love at first sight,
loving your neighbor, eternal love, romantic
love, tender love, departed eternal love,
love of football, renaissance love, love of
God, love of music, parental love of a child,
love gone bad and love of a nations’
people.
In preparation, the 8th grade choir had the
special honor of singing 70’ love song
“Longer, “ by Dan Fogelberg, to Mrs. Spare’s
husband, Bruce Spare, as a way to help her
celebrate their wedding anniversary. This
was a pretty special way for the choir to be
a part of celebrating the significance of a
live-long love.
