The Paint Our Story event was part of a successful series of large and small events planned and supported by the EWSD Multilingual Advisory Council that took place this year. Artist and EWSD Multilingual Liaison Julio Desmont led a group of EWSD families and staff in creating a beautiful mural. The mural surfaces the story of how we each bring our unique, lived experiences towards the center of our community, and how the community also supports us. 🎨🖌️
Two ADL students, William and Rai, co-wrote a grant and were awarded $2000 through Unsung Heroes. They proposed planting trees around the Essex Junction community to improve the environment and mental health, and to bring more beauty to the community. They worked with the Essex Junction Tree Advisory Committee to figure out which trees to plant and determine locations. Then, they partnered with Hiawatha to plant some trees with the kindergarteners for Arbor Day.
The last day of school will be on Monday, June 15, and it will be a half-day.
Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, May 25, in observance of Memorial Day.
The date for CTE Recognition Night this year is set for June 11, starting at 6:30 p.m. Recognition Night is a time to honor and celebrate the accomplishments of our 11th and 12th-grade students.
