Mrs. Sandrik’s students have been working hard to create their very own Superheroes! As they designed their heroes, they learned about the important characteristics and behaviors that help us become positive school heroes and SOAR into success with a Scholar attitude, Obeying the rules, Attending to the teacher, and Respecting others. We are so proud of our students for showing their superhero qualities each day! 🦸‍♂️💥🦸🏻‍♀️

Hi Sea Turtle Families!

Just a quick reminder to get your Surf City Elementary T-shirt orders in! 🐢💙

As you’re placing your order, please make sure you complete the student information correctly at checkout. We’ve noticed a few orders coming through without a student name or with the incorrect teacher selected from the dropdown, which may cause some confusion when shirts are labeled and distributed.

Please double-check before submitting your order:
• Enter your oldest SCE student’s first and last name
• Select that student’s correct teacher from the dropdown menu
• If you have multiple students at SCE, remember to place ONE order per family under your oldest student’s name and teacher
• You can add shirts for multiple grades, siblings, and adults to the same order

Once the store closes, we’ll review the final order list and work to make sure everything is organized correctly before shirts are labeled and distributed.

Order here:

https://sce.aimsmarter.com/

If you’ve already placed an order and think you may have entered something incorrectly, or if you have any questions, please reach out to us at scelementarypta@gmail.com.

Thank you for helping us keep everything organized and make T-shirt distribution as smooth as possible!
