Dear ESMS Families,
We had a very busy, but great week at ESMS. Today finally feels like Spring!!! Just a reminder, next week is a 3 ½ day school week and then we head into Spring Recess.
Take a break from cooking and join us tonight at Oar & Oak Bird House for a delicious meal! You can dine in or order take out. Mention ESMS and a portion of your sale will go to our PTA in support of our grade 8 dinner dance. Click here to view the Oar & Oak fundraiser flyer. Can’t make it tonight? That’s ok! Our second planned fundraiser is tomorrow, Saturday April 8! You can stop by Mike’s Deli for breakfast or lunch tomorrow from 7:30 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. and just mention ESMS. They will be donating a percentage of their sales to the PTA as well. Click here to view the Mike’s Deli fundraiser flyer.
