Dear ESMS Families,

What an INCREDIBLE first week we had with your children. We started each morning with an hour in homerooms. Students engaged in a rotation of either grade level gatherings with Mr. Piselli and I, on team time spent introducing Morning Meeting to our learning community, or Wingman, a student-led movement that develops social and emotional skills through team building activities. It has been invigorating seeing your children these past three mornings, welcoming our grade 6 and new students, and reconnecting with our grade 7 and 8 students.
