Pennies for Patients goes Formal

The Southeast Polk Junior High is sponsoring a fundraiser for Pennies for Patients.  Teachers and students alike are able to donate money and then wear clothes that fit the theme for the day.  Themes have ranged from favorite sports team to formal wear.

Diversity Day Hits SEP Junior High!

On March 28th the Southeast Polk Junior High welcomed Diversity Day.  On this day guest speakers with a broad spectrum of various elements of diversity filled our school.  It was an incredible learning experience for the students and staff alike.  Words can not always do justice to all events so we have included pictures to help explain the wide range of opportunities that existed that day.

A huge thank you goes out to Ms. Wikert and the Diversity Committee who organized this event!
