A Message From Your Principal
Greetings, Eames Way Families!
We had so many wonderful things happen at EWS this week -- our 5th graders went on an incredible field trip to the State House and had lunch with several Senators, we had our monthly Principal's Lunch and recognized thirteen more incredible students for demonstrating our October Theme of the Month (Respect!), and I had a fantastic time with families who were able to join me in our gazebo on Friday morning for coffee and tea!
There were so many celebrations of learning to share with our families -- As usual, the pictures of your children say it all! Have a fantastic weekend and we hope to see you at Sunday's "Trunk or Treat" Event!
With Best Wishes,
Ms. Bishop, Principal
