NEW LETTERBOXING CLUB!
Did you know there are hand-carved stamps hidden all over the world waiting to be discovered?
We are thrilled to announce SECO’s new Letterboxing Club with Mrs. Fry, a unique opportunity for 4th and 5th-graders to combine art, logic, and outdoor exploration. Letterboxing is a creative treasure-hunting activity where players follow clues to find hidden stamps.
Students will learn to make their own logbooks, carve their own signature stamps, and practice solving clues to find boxes hidden within the library. By the end of the session, students will be prepared to embark on real-world letterboxing adventures with their families!

HELP RAISE FUNDS WITH THE BOTTLE DROP PROGRAM!
Did you know your bottles and cans can help support Sato Elementary? SECO is now participating in the Oregon BottleDrop Give program for non-profits, allowing families and community members to recycle eligible beverage containers while raising funds for SECO sponsored programs, events, and enrichment opportunities.
To participate request a blue SECO BottleDrop bag on our website and a bag will be sent home with your student. Collect eligible bottles and cans at home and drop the full bag off at a BottleDrop location. No BottleDrop account is required to participate, and the QR code on the bag connects the donation directly to SECO.
Visit our website to request a bag and learn more about how you can participate.
