The SMED AVR was buzzing today as we kicked off SED Days 2026. From our morning of reflection at the Holy Mass and powerful opening speeches to a lovely serenade, the energy was unmatched. We brought the heat during the icebreakers and the VEST-in Spelling Game, and wrapped it all up with a deep dive into curriculum design with Ms. Ana Quijano.

We’re just getting started! Let’s keep that momentum rolling into the next round!
