Dear ESMS Families,
Happy Friday! Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Students vs. Staff/Parents Basketball Game last night. What an incredible event. Thank you to our awesome PTA for making this happen.
Next week is Teacher Appreciation Week - a special opportunity to express our gratitude to the dedicated educators who work tirelessly to support and inspire our students. Our teachers play a vital role in shaping the lives of our children, providing them with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement each day. I kindly ask that you remind your children to take the time to thank their teachers next week. Whether it's a handwritten note, a simple gesture of kindness, or a heartfelt expression of gratitude, every token of appreciation means the world to our educators.
So much happening next week:
