Locker Room Project - This upgrade has been in the works for some time as our current locker rooms, which in many ways, are original to the 1960s school. It will be a big change for all of our students as we move into next year. Look for more updates as we move through the project over the summer. Here are some before pictures of the locker rooms as they are right now.

Great to hear that the 3rd graders had a wonderful time visiting the Ellsworth Public Library and enjoyed the activities there. It's always exciting to see young students engage with learning and exploring new spaces. Kudos to the library for creating such a welcoming and educational environment!
📚👧🏼The third graders were on 🔥 as they presented their wax museum activity! Each student researched and presented a biography about a well-known person, inspiring and educating the second graders and their families. 👏🏼👏🏼 Who knows, maybe one of these students will be the next historical figure in the making! 🌟
Yesterday was our last night of EES puzzle club. We had put together a puzzle for the Kolodzienski family in memory of Peter. He was one of our puzzle club kids, so we decided to celebrate him as he is so special to us. We also enjoyed some crumble cookies!
It's great to see people taking the initiative to prioritize their mental health. Here are some tips for the activities for each day of the week:
Mindful Monday: Practicing mindfulness can be a great way to reduce stress and increase focus. One simple mindfulness exercise to try is to find a quiet place to sit, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Try to clear your mind and simply observe your breath moving in and out of your body. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring it back to your breath. You can do this exercise for as little as 5 minutes or as long as 30 minutes.
Tech-free Tuesday: It's important to be aware of the impact that social media and other forms of technology can have on our mental health. Consider taking a break from social media and other electronic devices for a few hours or even the whole day. Use this time to connect with loved ones, engage in a hobby, or spend time in nature.
Walk on Wednesday: Exercise is a great way to boost your mood and reduce stress. If you don't have a lot of time, even a 15-minute walk can help. Consider taking a walk during your lunch break or after dinner. You could also try incorporating walking into your daily routine by parking further away from your destination or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
We hope these tips are helpful and that you have a great Mental Health Month!
If you need help or resources please reach out to our district mental health coordinator Nancy.
