Dear ESMS Families,
We had a wonderful week together. Thank you to our families who attended the PTA meeting this past Tuesday. We appreciate your support and willingness to get involved! We are participating in our 8th annual Mittens for a Merrier Holiday Gift Drive. Each year we are blown away by the incredible generosity and support we receive from our ESMS learning community during the holiday season. If you would like to participate in this charitable event you can do so by selecting a gift to purchase for a local family on our Mittens for a Merrier Holiday digital sign up form. All gifts should be purchased, wrapped and returned to ESMS no later than Friday, December 16. Please place a note with your name and the item purchased along with the family number for the item purchased from the sign up form. Click here to access the sign up form and select the gift you would like to purchase and donate. Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.
Please note we have a date change for the ESMS Band and String Winter Concert. The performance is now scheduled for Tuesday, December 20th at Foran High School Auditorium at 6:30 pm.
PTA: One of the PTA goals this year is to fund as much of the field trip costs as possible. You can help us reach our goal by signing up for our new givebacks program, where 25,000 local and national businesses will donate to our PTA when you shop with them. Please click here for additional information. If you would like to join the ESMS PTA please click here to access the membership form or click here to join or donate online.

DOLPHIN DOLLARS: At ESMS we are proud of our students for following our value system by being accountable, staying respectful and being safe. To reward our students for this exemplary behavior we have implemented our Dolphin Dollar system which students can use to purchase items at our ESMS school store. In an effort to fully stock our school store, in conjunction with our AMAZING PTA, we are asking families to consider making a contribution. Click here for more information and a list of items you can donate. Thank you as always for your continued generosity and support!
