The ESS family would like to wish Mrs. LeBlanc a very Happy Administrative Assistant Day! She was honored today with cards, flowers, goodies, and many visits from students and staff who thanked her for all she does. One of her favorite moments of the day came from the kindergarten class. They showed their appreciation in typical kinder style by thanking her for "letting us have recess!" :) Mrs. LeBlanc, thank you so much for being you!

3rd graders in Ms. Boltz and Mrs. McAuleyβs class boarded a plane today and headed for a tour of Ireland! They compared and contrasted governments, talked about land forms, climate, wildlife, culture and traditions. All things that they have been learning in reading, science and social studies. They were even served a mid-flight snack and drink!

Nurse Macy (pictured left) was in high demand today as first grader Kennidie came down for a missing tooth! So busy in fact, that Kennidie thought Ms. Allie (pictured right) WAS Nurse Macy! The family resemblance is strong between these sisters!
