Dear ESMS Families,
What an incredible week at ESMS! On Monday our learning community showed support for World Down Syndrome Day by wearing their wackiest or mismatched socks - we had so much fun! If you do not follow us on Twitter, do so, we post pictures almost daily!
We have shifted back to all eating together in one space, our beautiful cafeteria. Kids and staff are so much happier. At the end of lunch Mr. Piselli and our team try to take the kids outside for the last ten minutes or so to get some fresh air and enjoy natural movement breaks with friends. The kids are really enjoying this time with friends and the opportunity to get the wiggles out!
Spring Conferences: Just a reminder next week are conferences so we release early, 12:35 pm, on Wednesday, March 30 and Thursday, March 31. Spring conferences are from 1:00-3:00 on Wednesday and 5:30-8:00 on Thursday.
