Dear ESMS Families,
We had a fun week at ESMS as we all participated in Spirit week. Students and staff showed up in PJs, superhero attire, favorite hats, adorned in yellow, and more. Our wear yellow day was to celebrate diabetes awareness and we raised $180.00. This entire week was planned and organized by our very own ESMS students and through the Kindness Club. What an incredible way to empower our students and embrace their eagerness to give back and build community. We are super proud of our students.
