Good Evening ESMS families,
We’re closing out October with one of our favorite traditions, Spirit Week! This is a great chance for students and staff to come together, show their school pride, and have some fun as we build community. We can’t wait to see the hallways filled with energy and school pride. Please take a moment to review important updates below.
Take A Veteran To School Day: In honor of Veterans Day, East Shore Middle School will host Take a Veteran to School Day from 8:30 AM-10:15 AM. We’re inviting family and friends who have served to join us for a ceremony and small-group conversations with students. It’s always a meaningful morning, and we’d love to welcome more veterans to participate. If you know someone interested, please have them sign up with this form.
