💜Mrs. Nyseth's students wrote encouraging notes to other people & walked around the school picking up trash.
💜OT was tracing stencils and cutting out the shape are great activities to strengthen the muscles of the hands AND the eyes! Today our OT friends will hide their kind notes in library books.
💜Mrs. Peterson’s third grader delivered a surprise and visited Mrs. Sorli’s second graders to do puzzle time. Students worked together showing patience and kindness to each other.

Mrs Zierl’s kindergarten class has been in writing officer training learning how to patrol their sentences. After they write, they put on their hats and patrol for capital letters, spaces between words, and punctuation. After lots of hard work, they have graduated patrol training and are set to edit their writing.
We're thrilled to share some incredible news about our amazing EES Student Council! 🙌✨ They organized a heartwarming food drive with the goal of supporting those in need in our community. 🥫🍎
We are overjoyed to announce that our dedicated students, with your generous contributions, were able to donate a whopping 418 pounds of food! 🎉🥳 This is a testament to the spirit of kindness and compassion that thrives within our school.
A huge shoutout to every student, teacher, and parent who contributed to this initiative. Your generosity is making a significant impact on the lives of those who may be facing food insecurity. 💖👏

Our 4th graders had a blast at the After School Art Club, thanks to the amazing after-school grant that ECSD received!
These young artists unleashed their creativity, crafting adorable scarecrows and snowmen. The room was filled with laughter, colorful paints, and endless imagination!
It's heartwarming to see how initiatives like this grant can allow our students to explore their artistic talents outside the regular curriculum.
