Dear ESMS Families,
Happy Thursday! While this was a three-day week, we were super busy at ESMS!

Wednesday, February 21, is an early release day for all students while staff engage in professional learning.
PTA Events happening include the incredible Texas Roadhouse RIB RALLY on February 21. Also, mark your calendars for the Islanders vs Bruins hockey game on Friday, March 29. Click here for more info!

What better way to get involved and spend time at ESMS with our awesome kiddos than Career day? ESMS 4th Annual Career Day is happening! We are looking for anyone interested in sharing their career with our students. Our hope is that we might spark curiosity and interest within our young learners that might lead to a pursuit of a specific career pathway. Career day can significantly impact students by exposing them to various career options and inspiring them to explore different pathways. We need Career Day presenters and are hopeful you can help us out. If you are willing to share your career or know someone who might be interested in being a part of this awesome day for our kids. Please click here for more information. ESMS Career Day is Friday, May 24, at 1:00 pm.
