One of Principal Clunen's favorite parts of the day is making a "PAWS"itive Office Referral phone call home. These calls are a way to celebrate students who are doing great things, and the celebration continues beyond the call.
Each student recognized receives a special visit to our fantastic Book Vending Machine! This is how we honor their character and encourage a lifelong love of reading. Keep up the great work, Bulldogs!

What a fantastic cultural lesson for our EPHS Spanish students! Today, Sra. Lerch's class traveled virtually to Peru, thanks to Natlingo. They had an up-close look at alpacas and llamas, learning what they eat, where they sleep, and how the Peruvian people rely on them. What a fun way to connect our Spanish students with the culture!
This morning's PBIS assembly at EPES was filled with fun and energy, but most importantly, it delivered a message for our students: Never Give Up - Encourage Others - Do Your Best (NED).

Third grade had an amazing field trip to Pioneer Trails Tree Farm!
They learned all about the life cycle of a Christmas tree, from planting to watering it at home. Every student got to make an ornament, sip hot chocolate, and brought home their very own potted Canaan Fir! What a festive way to learn!
Check out the photos from Mrs. Cox's class.
