👏✨ It’s time to recognize our October Core Value Award Winners! Please give it up for:
✴️ Todd Huffman, Head Custodian at EPSAC, was nominated for INTEGRITY. Todd continually works to ensure that Professional Development sessions, meetings and events are set up and coordinated above expectation. He communicates before, during and after events and is available to help troubleshoot when needed. We are so thankful to have Todd as part of the EPS team and couldn't have made it through August PD and ongoing sessions without him and his team.
✴️ Jenny McCullough, Early Pre-K Teacher at Bright Beginnings, was nominated for BELONGING. Jenny goes above and beyond for her students and families. She ensures students feel welcomed every day, making morning drop-offs so much easier. She makes families feel like their children are in good hands, loved big and taken care of each and every day. Because of her dedication, students enter Pre-K knowing things like letter sounds, numbers, shapes and much more, creating a fun year and an easier bridge to Pre-K!
✴️ Kyle Major, Social Studies & STUCO Teacher at North, was nominated for BELONGING. Kyle has worked very hard in STUCO to increase a sense of belonging for all students and staff. He goes out of his way to connect with students, whether that be at games, during class or at lunch duty. A great example of how he works so hard to create an atmosphere of belonging is how he is learning Spanish to better be able to communicate with ALL students.
✴️ Amiee Richardson, K-2 Instructional Coach at Northern Hills, was nominated for BELONGING. Amiee models belonging each and every day by checking on her Kinder-2nd grade teachers. She asks about their families, how students are doing and if there are any resources she can help them with. She made an extra effort to connect with her team by inviting them to get to know one another prior to the school year. We appreciate all that Amiee does each and every day to love our teachers, our students and families!
What a great representation of the staff here at EPS! 🎉

Something good is cookin'! 🍝
Last week our ETA interns learned how to make homemade pasta from scratch! From preparing the ingredients, to kneading the dough, our interns were involved in and learned about the whole process. We love getting to see how ETA fosters a unique environment for everyone who walks through the doors, especially when it smells this good! 🥖 🥘

📸💻 West Field’s AV Club enjoyed a special photography lesson where students learned how to operate a camera and frame their shots! They quickly put their new skills to the test as they posed their classmates and reviewed their photos together.
They’re practicing hard to get the best shots for this year’s yearbook and social media! 🌟

Our first Step Day of the year at Boulevard!🎓
At Boulevard Academy, our students graduate in blocks throughout the year. Students will still have the opportunity to walk across the stage with their home high school, but this is the perfect opportunity for their teachers and classmates to celebrate them and their accomplishments. 🎊
If this is just Block 1, we can't wait to see what is in store for the rest of the year!

No seats without respect! 🚫🪑
Inspired by Drew Daywalt's book The Day the Crayons Quit, Washington Irving's chairs went on a brief "strike" this week! The chairs were tired of being tipped over and needed a little TLC.
During this quick persuasive writing lesson, students had a blast finding creative, temporary ways to sit while brainstorming persuasive letters to convince their chairs to come back. ✍️
Thanks to some powerful arguments (and promises of great chair care), all chairs have safely returned to their desks! 👏
