A Message From Your Principal
Greetings, Eames Way Families!
Thank you to our PTO for orchestrating such a successful "Trunk or Treat" on Sunday afternoon! Even with the rain, students and families had a terrific time (and had some incredible costumes!) The joy carried into the week as students learned about Fire Safety with Captain Shields from Marshfield Fire Department. On Tuesday afternoon we had a SPOOK-TACULAR Halloween Costume Parade! Big-Little Buddies across different grade levels also met to complete fun learning activities and crafts throughout the week.
We look forward to meeting with our families during next week's Elementary Conferences and will miss our students on Tuesday and Friday! (REMINDER: No school for students on BOTH of those days!) Thank you all for a wonderful week and have a fantastic weekend!
With Best Wishes,
Ms. Bishop, Principal
