Superintendent for a day! 💭✨
Santa Fe High School junior Abbey Niemann recently spent the day learning all about EPS and what it takes to lead a school district!
Superintendent Dr. Delich gave Abbey a tour of the district office and took her to a Rotary Club meeting, where she spoke about her experience in EPS. She was able to visit some schools and to top off the day, she visited her former elementary school, Washington Irving, where her name is still proudly displayed on a brick in the butterfly garden! 🧱🦋

State Superintendent Lindel Fields got a firsthand look at #EdmondExcellence! ✴️💜
During his visit, Superintendent Fields dropped into classrooms across the district to connect with our excellent teachers, staff, and students. We loved showing him what makes Edmond Public Schools so special. 👏

Santa Fe students stepped into a classroom full of clues with one assignment: investigate a very famous unsolved mystery. 🔦🎨
After studying the 1990 Gardner Museum art heist, students used UV pens, black flashlights, crime scene tape and their detective skills to uncover clues and see if they could crack a case that has stumped investigators for more than 30 years. 🕵️♀️

A little taste of learning! ✨🧑🍳
Students at the Edmond Early Childhood Center explored four different tastes during an interactive lesson. After trying them all, they had to decide which was their favorite.😋
Sweet, salty, sour or bitter... there was definitely a clear winner for some! 🍋🍬🧂

Charles Haskell wants to wish you a Happy Constitution Day! 🇺🇸📝
💡 239 years ago, on September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention met for the last time to sign the document they had created. Our Charles Haskell Rascals celebrated this historic day by learning the Preamble and signing a replica Constitution.
And of course, the 2nd Grade team couldn't let this day pass without dressing up as a few Founding Fathers! 🏛️

Summer is great and all, but an elementary color run ending in popsicles just might give it a run for its money. 😎🌈
✨ Chisholm’s Color Run was full of giggles, movement and, of course, LOTS of color!

Edmond EGG-CELLENCE! 🥚💥
✍️ Clegern 4th graders were split into teams, given the same materials and challenged to design a contraption that would protect an egg from a drop. Before they started building, teams had to put their ideas on paper, create a written plan and work together to bring their designs to life.
Then, it was time to test their designs and see if their eggs survived. The suspense was real in those few seconds between the drop and finding out if their plans worked!

✂️👏 We officially celebrated the opening of our newest elementary school, Post Oak, with a ribbon cutting ceremony! We were proud to have board members, administrators, teachers and even some otters attend the milestone event!
Post Oak will be a place where students learn, grow and flourish for years to come. Post Oak is where acorns become oaks! 🌳
And just look at the transformation! ➡️👀 What started as a rendering and a set of plans is now Edmond's newest school filled with staff, students and learning every day.
