Principal’s Message

Spring is Coming!

Dear Severn Families,

Thank you all for a wonderful month! I am so proud of our students. They have displayed a commitment to learning and have displayed impeccable character. Over the past month, our students have been actively engaged in a plethora of hands-on, engaging, and rigorous academic tasks. Thank you for your support as it is truly appreciated. As a reminder, please continue to check our website and Twitter for all of the SES happenings.

The next few months will be fast and furious. We have several exciting schoolwide and community events planned, so please be on the lookout for school communicatio. We will celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday with a themed week, host our annual Boosterthon, and kickoff our Severn Serves initative with an exciting service project.

If you have any questions and/or concerns, please let me know.
