Southeast Elementary in Sikeston has named its BASE students for the month of January. BASE stands for Be Respectful (of all adults, peers and school property); Act Responsibly (be responsible for your learning); Stay Safe (make safe choices to keep self and others safe); and Excel (be your best self). Teachers select a student that has done an above average job at displaying these behaviors each month.
