Egg Hatching Moon

As the year comes to a close, our team reflected on what this month means to us and asked people around us to share some thoughts! We have so much gratitude for Elk Island Public Schools as we celebrate diversity and accomplishments in every school. Summer is a time to connect to the land, celebrate and visit. We look forward to a strong start in September as we share stories of the year past with many proud moments among students, staff and families!
