Hello SAE Families!
This week has been a wonderful reminder of the incredible investment our parents, teachers, and staff make in creating a fun, supportive, and engaging environment for our students. From the creative outfits during Spirit Week’s daily themes to the excitement of our Halloween Costume Day, our entire school community came together to celebrate in true Dragon fashion!
We also want to extend a special thank-you to all the parents who contributed to the classroom Halloween parties. Whether through donations, treats, decorations, or volunteering your time, your support helped make this week memorable for our students.
It’s moments like these that truly reflect the heart of The SAE School where learning, laughter, and community go hand in hand.
Thank you again for your continued support and commitment to our school’s mission.
Desmond Bobbett, Head of Schools

Dragon Fund Special Recognition
We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to this year’s Annual Dragon Fund and helped us reach our goal of $75,000, which funds projects not covered by tuition. Your generosity helps us continue providing innovative learning experiences, updated resources, and enriching programs for our students.
We also want to take a moment to recognize the families who made the largest monetary contributions, who are pictured below. Also, we want to recognize teachers and classrooms that went above and beyond to encourage participation and school spirit. The preschool overall classroom winner is the Oglethorpe classroom and teachers (Ms. Vianyi, Ms. Ruth, Ms. Fabiola, and Ms. Edgardys). The K/8 classroom overall winner is 1st grade, and individual teacher winners for highest participation are Ms. Teasley (3rd grade) and Ms. Carlissa (kindergarten).
Your commitment truly exemplifies what it means to be part of our Dragon community. Thank you for helping us make a lasting impact!

Hi SAE Families!
We wanted to send a quick reminder about Mini Melts Fridays!
Mini Melts are at SAE this summer. Treat yourself every Friday around 4 PM — just $5 per cup. You’re welcome to enjoy your treat outside the building after your little dragon has been picked up for the day, but we do ask that ice cream is not eaten inside the school. All proceeds benefit the SAE Preschool, supporting student curriculum materials and in-house field trips for the upcoming school year. We appreciate and thank you for your support!
