A Message From Your Principal
Greetings and Happy Friday!
We had quite an exciting week! We smiled brightly for Tuesday's Picture Day, participated in some fun "seasonally-inspired" learning activities, and had multiple guest speakers! Our first guest, Laura Duksta, is a celebrated children's author and Marshfield native who shared her beautiful stories and message of acceptance, the power of love, the importance of connection, and appreciation for one another. Thank you, EWS PTO, for providing us with this powerful learning experience!
Our second guest speakers joined all grade levels on Friday for our first "Lunch Around the World" presentation during students' lunch times! Special thank you to the Muñoz family for teaching us about Chile and sharing its beautiful culture and language! We are excited to bring "Lunch Around the World" to Eames Way and for our students to learn more about other cultures and traditions.
Please be sure to check upcoming events and activities -- We're especially excited for our PTO's Trunk or Treat event and our Halloween Costume Parade on the 31st!
With Best Wishes,
Ms. Bishop, Principal
