National School Counseling Week
February 1-5 is National School Counseling Week. We are so thankful to have Mrs. Hembree as our EES Counselor. She is a true advocate for children and gives all of her energy and heart to our students and staff. Please join us in showing your appreciation for our phenomenal school counselor.
Presidents' Day
No school on Monday, February 15, in honor of Presidents' Day.
Yearbooks
Have you ordered your yearbook yet? Order online with Lifetouch at http://ybpay.lifetouch.com/ using code 5495121. The deadline to order is March 15. Extra copies will not be ordered this year.
National Bubble Gum Day
Yes, it is a real thing. On Friday, February 5, students can buy and chew gum at school in benefit of the EES Jr. Beta Club. Funds will be donated to a local or area charity.
Candy Grams
February 1-5, Student Council will be selling Valentines Day candy grams for $1. Students may order a candy gram and have it delivered to someone else at EES; and, you get to participate in the fun, too! If you would like to send a candy gram to your child or anyone in particular just place your money, along with a note highlighting the lucky person's name, in an envelope and send it to your homeroom teacher. We will take it from there. Happy Valentines Day!
Movie, Popcorn, and PJs with PTO
We love our PTO! Since we can't have a traditional PTO Movie Night (#thankscorona), the PTO is taking the event to the classroom. On Friday, February 19, each class will get to watch a movie of their choice while enjoying popcorn from the PTO. Students will be allowed to wear PJs for the day. Each child is asked to donate $3 for the event.
