A NOTE FROM OUR SUPERINTENDENT
New Web-Site and Social Media
In early November, Southeast of Saline Schools will be host-
ing a new web-site. After long discussions with staff members and
patrons, it was clear that our current web-site was not as user-
friendly, 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 our hope with this new format, that we can provide up-
dates on classroom information and events in real time. We would
like to have our web-site be a “one-stop shopping” site where all of
our patrons will be able to find the information that they need. When
it is up and running, we would invite suggestions from our communi-
ty so that we can make the site as informative as possible.
We will provide links to our other social media tools, like Fa-
cebook and Twitter, on the web-site so that we can increase our
patron’s ability to receive relevant information while they are on the
go. Our web address will not change. It can be found at
www.usd306.org.
We would also like to remind you that our District Newsletter
will be published in electronic form and will only be sent via hard
copy to those patrons who have contacted the district.
We want everyone in the district to receive the newsletter in one form
or another. If you know of someone who is not receiving it, please let
us know.

sponsored by the SES Education Foundation. We serve homemade food in our

surrounding states. FREE ADMISSION. We are proud to offer wide aisles and

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.

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

District Choir Auditions One of the greatest honors for vocal music
students in the North Central part of Kansas is to be
selected for the KMEA North Central District Honor
Choir.
Students must prepare three choral pieces which
are selected by a state choral clinician. To
audition, students will be notified what sections of
each piece they will have to sing on the audition
date.
Auditions take place at Junction City High School
and each singer individually provides their voice
part (soprano, alto, tenor or bass) while singing
along with an audition accompaniment CD.
Three teachers listen to each singer, and act as
judges, giving each audition a set of points based
upon a prepared rubric. The top 50 singers from
each section are invited to be members of the NC
District Honor Choir. 31 of our students will be
auditioning.
Auditioning from SES this year are: Freshemen:
Anna Reece, Braydon Boyer. Madison Roths,
Shayla Kuhn, Khendal Wimberly, Hope Reinert,
Gracie Stutterheim, Jazlyn Kingsolver, Derric
Schettler. Sophomores: Jace Stephenson,
Luke Hoerter, Lexi Pennington, Saida Srna, Ginna
Conway, Tova Plumer. Juniors: TJ Breedlove, Brian
Eddings, Paige Nurnberg, Krislynn Wiles, Ryan
Rodriguez, Jacob Ostmeyer, Paige Lofton, Andie
Jackson, Calle Blaha, Dakota Baker. Seniors: Cody
Ptacek, Marcy Gagna, Brett Nurnberg,
Kendal Peterson, Davin Smith, and Sydney
Johnson.
Please give all of these musicians lots of
encouragement and wish them luck!

a part of celebrating the significance of a
live-long love.
