New Front Office Design We INVITE you to SOAR through our newly designed Front Office Wednesday, June 6th specifically from 8-9am and throughout the proceeding days. Join us as we celebrate the collaborated efforts of our Front Office Design team unveiling the amazing artistic design and talent of our own SEES mom’s. This project has been a work in progress over the last school year. SEES Distinguished School honor combined with the San Marcos Unified School District’s PACE Promise program inspired the concept of “Oh the places we’ll SOAR” at SEES. Based on the artwork and message from the Dr. Seuss book “Oh the places you’ll go” we have created a masterful interpretation of what it means for our children to SOAR to new heights as they progress in their academics. We are featuring colleges attended by our own SEES Staff and bringing awareness to the children of the vast amount of opportunities they have to SOAR at SEES and the abundance of Colleges that await them beyond their amazing education in the SMUSD. This project has been funded 100% by donation. We would like to acknowledge the Design Team of Michelle Philbrick, San Elijo Life; Karen Morton, Masters Real Estate Group, Katie Gaines, Love Paper Paint; Deana Lang, Artsy, Crafty and Creative Kidz. Katie and Deana have both contributed their talents as Art Docents in their children’s classes, and helped with the decorations for the SEES Country Fair. Katie brings 15 years as a professional graphic designer, licensed painting and decorating contractor. Deana brings 8 years of teaching children art creatively on a variety of mediums for them to explore. This combined skill and experience has resulted in an amazing work of art with close attention to detail, masterful interpretation and pure talent. We are so fortunate to have this amazing team put forth this effort to inspire students and parents to SOAR in every aspect of life beginning with their education at SEES.
