Dear ESMS Families,
We had a great week at ESMS. This is a reminder to our families that we meet Monday night at 6:30 p.m., in the Media Center, for our PTA meeting. We hope you can join us! Also, there is no school for students on Tuesday, November 7, as staff engage in professional learning.
Picture Retakes: Picture retakes are on November 9, 2023. Click here for retake and ordering information.
Thanks For Giving Food Drive: Click here for the flyer regarding the 19th Annual Thanks For Giving Food Drive, running October 30-November 10.
Ski/Snowboard Club: It's not too late to sign up for this year's ski and snowboard club! Come join us this winter for fun on the Mt. Southington slopes. If you are interested in signing your child up please reach out to Mrs. Kim mkim@milforded.org or Mr. Carstensen pcarstensen@milforded.org

Community Resource Fair: Click here for information on The Community Resource Fair on November 15th.
Milford Turkey Trot: ESMS will be participating in the Milford Turkey Trot this year. If you are willing to get up early on Thanksgiving, we promise you a good time, including live music from the Rum Runners! This fun run benefits our PTA, The Purple Pantry boxes (bring your non-perishables to the race), and The Cure Starts Now, (which supports pediatric brain cancer research). Register here! If you can’t make it, sign up to do the race virtually and get the cool race shirt, or click the green button to donate. Please spread the word to your family and friends! Prices go up on 11/3. The Turkey Trot is seeking sponsors so that 100% of the race entry fees and donations can go to local charities. If you have a business, restaurant, or shop (or know someone who does), please reach out. If you are interested in volunteering, you can sign up here.
One of the best ways to stay connected and see what is happening in the classroom is through X (formerly Twitter), Instagram or FB. We try our best to capture as much of our kiddos as we can throughout the day. Please follow us! Click on the below icons to access ESMS Instagram (IG), FaceBook (FB), and X accounts:
If you have questions or concerns, please contact your child’s team leader and of course, always feel free to call or email me anytime at scarlson@milforded.org or Mr. Genova at jgenova@milforded.org, or by phone at 203-783-3559.
Thanks so much for your continued support. We want, need, and value your involvement, partnership, and support in your child’s education! We look forward to a successful 2023-2024 school year and can’t wait to work with you and your children.
Shannan D. Perry Carlson, Principal James Genova, Assistant Principal
