Sharing the Joy!
Messy and Marvelous!
Choice, creativity and learning something new are all ingredients that lead to the success of Messy Art Night. The excitement was palatable as students made their way around a variety of artistic offerings. Messy Art Night, a beloved tradition at EES, would not be possible without the many volunteers who give of their time and talents. Sincere appreciation goes out to Elle Wolfe, for organizing the event, and the many parent volunteers who manned stations and supported our budding artists in their creations. Just one more fantastic student/community event supported by your fundraising and involvement in our Friends of EES community!
Building Background Knowledge
In anticipation of their trip to the North Shore Music Theater to see Madagascar, the second graders explored an enlarged map of Africa. Identifying locations, considering the global location of the country, and noting its possible climate variances, students gained a broader understanding of the setting and characters of the delightful musical. The trip to the theater was a student-reported success! Thanks again to the fundraising efforts of our Friends of EES community for fiscally supporting this trip!
Welcome to our Parent Survey on Friends of EES Services! Your input is crucial in shaping the future initiatives and activities of the Friends of EES. This survey aims to understand your preferences, gather feedback on past events, and identify areas where we can improve to better serve the needs of our diverse school community.
