It’s Random Acts of Kindness Day, Strayhorn Elementary! ⚡️ Today is all about turning the volume up on being awesome to each other and making our hallways the best place to be.
Kindness isn’t just a nice thought—it’s a total game-changer. It’s the "good luck" you shout before a big test, holding the door open for someone, or the simple "thank you" to the people who keep our school running every day. It’s about realizing that you have the power to completely flip someone’s day around in less than 60 seconds.
We’re turning our school into a kindness zone today. Look for those small moments to be a legend, start a ripple, and remind each other why it’s great to be a Mustang. 🌊
Let’s see how much of a difference we can make before the final bell rings.

📸 Get Ready to Smile! Spring Picture Day is Coming
Dust off those favorite outfits because Spring Picture Day is officially set for Thursday, February 19th starting at 7:35 AM. This is the perfect time to capture a fresh look for the season with various backgrounds and portrait packages available to choose from.
Please remember that a $2 proof fee is due on picture day to have your spring photos taken. This fee allows you to receive proofs later on, so you can view your photos and decide exactly which packages you’d like to order without any guesswork.
For any students who missed our earlier sessions, we will also be taking yearbook make-up pictures (no fee for these) during this time. Make sure you're ready to go right at the start of the day so you don't miss out!

Happy National School Counseling Week! Mrs. Peacock is the master of the 'calm down corner' and keeper of the good stickers. We don't know what we'd do without you!



Happy School Resource Officer Appreciation Day! 👮♂️✨
Today, we’re sending a huge shout-out to our very own Officer Gordon. We are so incredibly blessed to have him on the SES campus!
What truly sets Officer Gordon apart isn't just the uniform—it’s the heart he brings to the job every single day. We deeply appreciate how he takes the time to build genuine relationships with every student and staff member he meets. Whether he's high-fiving in the hallways, checking in during lunch, or offering a helping hand, he makes our school feel like a true community.
Thank you, Officer Gordon, for your dedication, your kindness, and for keeping our school a safe and welcoming place to learn! 💙📚

🔍 There’s a mystery to solve in Mrs. Brister’s science lab today! Our sixth graders turned into junior paleontologists as they dove into owl pellet dissections. From tiny skulls to hidden ribs, they’re piecing together the food web one discovery at a time. It’s amazing what you can find when you look a little closer! 🕵️♂️🔬
