Dear ESMS Families,
ESMS celebrated Kindness Week throughout the week. Our Wingman student ambassadors organized this event and students took time during lunch waves, to write each other notes of kindness. These notes will be delivered to individuals over the next few days. Students also painted rocks to add to our kindness rock garden and wrote down acts of kindness on colorful sheets of paper to be used to make a paper kindness unity chain which will be hung in the building.
We also celebrated Veterans Day yesterday. Students wrote letters of thank you to our veterans, wore red, white, and blue which raised money for the local VFW, and we had a missing person table displayed outside the cafeteria to pay tribute. We were also lucky enough to have Mr. DeGrego substitute here and since he is a highly decorated Veteran, he popped around class to class to share his experiences and answer any questions the kids might have had. The kids and staff really enjoyed this.
Movie Night: We will be hosting an outdoor movie night for our ESMS students on Tuesday, November 16 at 5:30 pm. Click here for more information and to sign up.
