Building Project
I am working on setting dates with them now on setting up another round of focus group meetings. During these meetings they will share more detailed plans and how items fit into different areas of the building.
Keep in mind that the plans are ever changing and any ideas you have can and need to be shared! These classrooms and learning spaces can be very different then what we have in our rooms now. Education will be changing and our straight row desks will not have a place in this new building. Continue to think how to create a classroom that fosters collaboration, engagement, and excitement.
Here are some links that can help spark our imagination :)

Athletics
ENMS Athletics – This week finalized our regular season for our basketball programs. It was an exciting season overall with much improved fundamentals and game play as the season progressed. The Gold teams final game was canceled due to weather, but the over season is season was excellent for the coaches and players. The team thanks everyone for the support during the season and attendance at the games! The girls season was finalized this week which included an outstanding game versus Dekalb for our Pink out for cancer awareness. The gym was packed and the intensity of the gymnasium was unbelievable! The band played throughout the night and set the tone! They were outstanding! The cheerleaders helped to lead the pace as well and at times it was difficult to tell who was louder; the band or cheerleaders! ENMS athletics is proud to say it was a great day and were excited to show what being a Knight is all about. Boys Blue basketball finished up the season at Dekalb with the 8th grade coming away with a victory.
