A Message From The Principal
Greetings EBE Families,
I hope this year brings you joy, fulfillment, and countless positive moments. It has been wonderful welcoming our students back to school, eager and excited to resume learning! So, what’s happening in the land of EBE?
This year, our goal is to continue fostering an environment that embraces inclusion, respect, and the celebration of our differences. To support this mission, we are equipping our teachers through professional development sessions focused on creating inclusive environments and addressing critical topics like childhood trauma and anxiety. Our ultimate aim is to maintain a balanced approach that nurtures both academic achievement and social-emotional well-being, as we know children thrive in happy and healthy environments.
On the academic front, our reading and math departments are currently conducting spring assessments as we build on the fantastic momentum established last semester. We are deeply committed to partnering with families to provide meaningful learning experiences that inspire hope, joy, and the achievement of each student’s personal best.
Speaking of happiness, our students were thrilled to return after their snow day and discover that Mr. Twaddle had planned two fun-filled sledding days for the entire school! A huge shout-out to Mr. Twaddle for organizing such an exhilarating experience. Be sure to check out the pictures below of our kids having "Snow Much Fun!"
