Donald Eismann News

I wanted to take a moment to extend my sincerest gratitude to each and every one of you for making Staff Appreciation Week an absolutely incredible celebration.

Your outpouring of kindness, support, and thoughtful gestures throughout the week filled our hearts with warmth and appreciation. From the sweet notes and cards to the delicious treats and surprises, all of us here at Donald Eismann felt incredibly valued and appreciated. Our dedicated team of teachers and staff work tirelessly every day to create a nurturing and enriching learning environment for our students, and your recognition means the world to them.

As we wrap up this week of celebration, I want to express my heartfelt thanks once again to our amazing Explorer families.

This month provides us with a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the vibrant cultures, traditions, and contributions of Asian and Pacific Islander communities around the world. It is a time to recognize the remarkable achievements, resilience, and the profound impact that individuals of Asian and Pacific Islander descent have made throughout history and continue to make today.

We are committed to fostering a culture of inclusivity, respect, and appreciation for all cultures and backgrounds. Throughout the month, our students will have the chance to learn about the diverse heritage of Asian and Pacific Islander communities through various activities, lessons, and discussions.

I encourage you to take this opportunity to engage in conversations with your children about the importance of cultural diversity, understanding, and empathy. Together, we can celebrate the beauty of our differences and strengthen the bonds that unite us as a school family.

This time of year as the sun comes out and seasonal allergies are prevalent, it is a great time to review the guidelines for when to keep your student home . Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy!

Art Walk - Thank you for the tremendous support at last week's Art Walk! We were absolutely delighted by the turn-out and thrilled to see students showcase their artwork. Kudos to the team of volunteers for putting on an amazing event. The event was also a fundraising success for the Art Docent program, with over $3,000 raised!
