What was the measure of the wind on the Beaufort scale today? It was a 3… There was a gentle breeze, so the flag flaps and leaves move. CAUSE AND EFFECT Great job, first grade!

As part of their Civics class, students partnered with the non-profit Each Stitch Counts to organize and execute a successful Dish Soap Drive. The students organized the collection, gathered donations, and loaded Ms. Trainor’s car for distribution. Each Stitch Counts, founded by former SGES Business Administrator Debbie Trainor, addresses a critical need identified through research: local food pantries require cleaning products like dish detergent, but often lack donations. The organization pairs bottles of detergent with handmade dishcloths supplied by its network of over 1,500 members worldwide. The collected dish soap will now be paired with dishcloths and distributed to local food pantries.

Did you see 2nd grade ROCK the house this morning? 🎸✨ Our Rock-n-Roll Forever show was an absolute hit — full of energy, history, and heart. Huge thanks to the students and the team who made rock history come alive for our school! What part did you love most — a song, costume, or that final bow? Share your favorite moment below! #SGES

Best of luck to our 8th graders! Just remember... that tennis is something you can carry with you for life. The progress you’ve made here matters, and it’s something to be proud of. Keep building on it—you’ve got something special.

Get cozy and read.....Free Read Friday is always a favorite in 2nd grade!!! HAPPY FRIDAY!! 📚📚📚

Our kindergartners had a fantastic time spelling out their digraph words on our alphabet carpet today! This hands-on activity brought learning to life as students worked together to build and read their words. It was a fun, engaging, and productive way to strengthen their phonics skills while staying active. So proud of their hard work and excitement for learning! 💛📚

5th graders participated in a Junior Entrepreneur Program at Coney Waffle in Belmar. They learned how to design a flavor, cost financials, and marketing. The flavors will be sold to the SG Community.... details coming soon!

It’s fabulous when curriculums cross! Our 2nd graders read about artist, George Morrison, and his beautiful artwork—many of his pieces highlight horizon lines. They brought their knowledge of horizon lines into their own artwork during art with Miss MacIntosh. Thank you, Miss MacIntosh, for such a successful lesson! Great job, 2nd graders!!!

It's already that time of year! Cherry blossom graduation photos! #sges #tradition #classof2026

2nd grade partner read our anchor text, HORIZONS, to prepare for art class tomorrow. The artist, George Morrison, used many different materials to create horizon lines within his paintings and artwork. What type of artwork will the 2nd graders create tomorrow with horizon lines?

Want to see preschoolers practicing calm? 😊 Earlier this month @child_win visited to teach our K–4 students simple, peaceful breathing exercises to help with self-regulation. Today, Mrs. Bittner shared those same techniques with our PK class — and our littlest learners enjoyed every minute! 💫🧘‍♀️ #SEL #childWIN #sges #mindfulnessforkids #preschoolpeace #calmingbreaths

Today our 4th graders went bird watching for their Social Studies region study — field guides, binoculars, and big smiles as they discovered local species and learned about habitat. 🐦🌿
Learning feels different when it happens outside. #sges #BirdWatching #OutdoorLearning #4thGrade #NatureStudy

Curious how middle schoolers solve real problems?
