📚💜 Celebrating I Love to Read Month with a Special Guest! 💜📚
We had an extra special treat as author Grace Nye joined us to read her very own book! 🎉✨ Students were captivated by the beautiful illustrations and engaging story, making this a truly unforgettable experience.
What a fantastic way to celebrate the joy of reading!

EES students took a hands-on learning adventure to the Pierce County Highway Shop to explore the world of bridges! 🌉✨
👷♂️ 2nd graders visited in November, and Kindergarteners followed in January—both groups diving into bridge-building lessons in class and STEM. Students designed and tested their own bridges, discovering what makes them sturdy (or not! 😉).
A huge thank you to Chad Johnson and his crew for an incredible experience, showing our students firsthand what it takes to build strong, reliable bridges! 🙌
