Dear ESMS Families,
Happy Friday - despite the three-day week learning is happening here! Your children engaged in Wingman this past Wednesday and had an absolute blast. Our sixth graders participated in one of the student ambassador's favorite activities, Tin Can Pass. This activity works on the students' communication and problem-solving skills as a group. The seventh and eighth graders participated in an activity called, "The Power of Words." This activity was a fun and engaging way for students to realize that words can be extremely powerful in both good and bad ways. The Wingman advisors are learning more every month about leading a group of their peers and the East Shore students have been an amazing group for them to teach!
