School Meeting today!


Today's school meeting focused on the core value of ACHIEVEMENT.   The second grade teachers ran the meeting and their students shared the amazing Chatter Pix research projects.  Tor Gjerde and Fletcher Wilson shared their reflections on this project (above picture).  Also some very talented musicians performed for everyone attending school meeting!  

Salem Sound Coastwatch








As a follow-up to the fifth grade unit on conservation, Salem Sound Coastwatch came to EES to present about water conservation.  Fifth graders rotated through parent-led stations to learn about many topics, some of which were: water shed, how pollution affects the environment, how rainwater gets to the ocean from Essex, qualities of water, and how waste water is managed.  It was a fabulous presentation to wrap-up the conservation study.  Thank you to Peter Phippen for connecting us to Salem Sound Coastwatch, as well as to all the parents who helped run the program: Stacie Capatasto, Jen Mayer, Rebecca Davis, Brooke Friedrich, Marnie Lawler, Marla Royale, and Heidi Meikrantz.
