The thing that impresses me the most about EES and the town of Essex is the true sense of community.  The notion that, “It takes a village to raise a child!” is alive and well in Essex.  We see this in the collaboration between the staff and parents, and the high level of engagement of families, as they are involved in their children’s schooling. 

 
I was so impressed this week as I learned that the Essex Fire Department donated a large sum of Market Basket gift cards to the program that Nurse Smith runs to support families during the holidays.  They sent over a GENEROUS donation in honor of a fallen fire fighter to support families at Essex Elementary School.  This is indicative of the type of community support that I see on a routine basis.  Thank you to the EFD for their support.  This is a great community to live and work in…I wish you all the best for the holidays.  Enjoy this time with your friends and family.

New communication tool!

In talking with the School Council and the PTO, I have decided to try out a blog as another "quick" method of communication with parents.  I will continue to write the monthly Essexpress article, but use the blog for more quick anecdotal messages.  If you are interested in receiving emails when a new message is posted,  please look to the right and sign up for email notifications.  I look forward to your feedback on this new feature!
