Preschool students are starting to settle in! They are comfortable with their teachers and in their learning environment.
Teachers model small play groups to support students who need social skills to engage with peers. Students form their own peer play groups and engage in pretend play to celebrate a special birthday. Sometimes students chose to explore all on their own.
All of these are important skills to practice and develop through the school year. Our friends are bonding and enjoying their time at school!

Fire Prevention Week isn't just about home fires—let's stay safe outdoors, too. When handling fire outside, remember to:
✅ Never leave a fire pit or outdoor grill unattended.
✅ Keep a bucket of water or hose nearby when having a campfire.
✅ Make sure all fires are completely extinguished before leaving.
Enjoy the outdoors safely!

Wellness Centers at ESMS and ESHS are intentionally designed to be calming and soothing spaces. One aspect of this is biophilic design that uses green spaces and plant life which have proven calming qualities.
In this photo, ESMS students gather in the ESMS Wellness Center known as the "Bulldog Den."
