Dear ESMS Families,
As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to express my gratitude for being part of such a remarkable learning community. Every day, I am inspired by the curiosity, kindness, and resilience of our students and the unwavering support of our families. Thank you!
This long weekend is perfect for relaxing, recharging, and enjoying moments with loved ones. Whether gathering around the table, taking a much-needed rest, or exploring new adventures, I hope your holiday is filled with joy and gratitude. We look forward to welcoming our students back to school on Monday, December 2nd.
Thank you to our PTA for the lovely breakfast this past Monday morning. What a wonderful way to kick off our Thanksgiving week together. We appreciate all you do for us at ESMS!
