Make It Happen 2019 was a huge success, we raised $60,733!! 
Not only did we beat our $60.000 goal, we surpassed it with the help of generous donations from sponsors to raise the additional $7,000 needed to complete our Wish List goals of: The 6th Grade Hovercraft Project and incentives for all grade levels and specials departments! We are now working through the process of replacing the K-2 playground and enhancing the 3-6 playground!!  We will keep everyone updated on the progress in the coming weeks, but until then, please see the pictures below of the plans. 
Thank you again to everyone who participated to help us Make It Happen in 2019 and celebrated with us at the
2019 SFES Fall Festival!!!

Playground Plans

The K-2 playground will be completely replaced, below (in the middle and to the left) is a rendering of the plan.  The 3-6 playground will be reconfigured by getting rid of a few old pieces, moving some existing pieces and adding a few new additions like the slides and climber below (to the right).

The 6th Grade Hovercraft Project

Our entire 6th grade class participated in The Hovercraft Project on Wednesday, 11/13/2019.  The Hovercraft Project is a large scale, team immersive, curriculum infused, S.T.E.A.M. and CORE integrated project. The students built a fleet of fully functional, safe and reusable hovercrafts. Here are a few pictures to show you the work they completed and the fun they had!

A special Thank You to our 2019 Make It Happen Sponsors
