Dear ESMS Families,
What a great week at ESMS. Our entire body engaged in an advisory lesson yesterday focused on our new ESMS Value System. This thinking experience focused on HONESTY, the H in our It’s a SHORE thing. Ask your kiddo about it!
We are looking forward to clubs starting on Monday and conferences Wednesday and Thursday. Just a reminder we have an early release day Wednesday and Thursday because of this. We are excited to see so many families in and out of the building - or virtually! Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are grateful everyday for the best families and of course students!
We wrapped up the week with the Git in Touch Foundation - raising awareness for breast cancer. Staff and students were adorned in pink from head to toe and Officer Loschiavo made an appearance in the Milford Police Department pink cruiser. The kids had so much fun touring the car and taking pictures with the cruiser while enjoying the beautiful weather outdoors.
