Dear SAE School Community,
Thank you to our amazing parents and families for your generous donations of prefilled eggs for this year’s Annual Egg Hunt. Because of your support, we were able to create a truly memorable experience for all of our students.
We would also like to extend a sincere thank you to our incredible teachers and staff for their efforts in making this event such a success. From supervising and supporting throughout the day, your teamwork truly brought this event to life. A special shoutout goes to Ms. Shannan, who took on the tremendous task of counting and organizing over 12,000 eggs and carefully dividing them by age group and grade level. Her dedication ensured that every student had an exciting and equitable experience. Also, a special thank you to our Easter Bunny (Monique Atkins) who brought joy and excitement to the children throughout the day.
In addition, we appreciate our Upper School students who played an important role in hiding and distributing eggs throughout the day for each group. Their support helped keep the event running smoothly and added to the fun for everyone involved.
As an added bonus, your tremendous contributions provided the opportunity to host a fun, competitive, and hilarious egg hunt for our teachers and staff, bringing even more joy to our school community.
We have many more exciting events coming up, so please be sure to scroll through the entire newsletter to stay informed and plan accordingly.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to seeing many of you at our upcoming events!
Warm regards,
Desmond Bobbett, Head of Schools

Our competitive cheer program, Dragons Elite Cheer program is made up of 20 incredible athletes from first through sixth grade who practice multiple times a week, to not only learn tumbling, stunting, dance, and other competitive cheer skills, but also teamwork, discipline, and confidence. They learn to believe in themselves, support their teammates, and discover what they are capable of.
This is our program’s third season and we could not be more proud of what they have accomplished in such a short time. This season they have the opportunity to compete at an exciting event at Universal Studios in Orlando.
Your support will help us get there! More than anything, your support shows these athletes that their school community believes in them and is cheering them on.
We are selling bundtlet cakes from Nothing-Bundt-Cake for $8 each to help us raise money to cover our competition registration fee.
