Students in first and second grade had their first Celebration of Learning today. They spent the past two months learning about Indian culture. They proudly shared all they had learned with the many families that joined us. We greatly appreciate the support of our EKES community.

Students participated in Read Across the World Week before vacation. Students read books from different countries and decorated their doors to represent one country. They participated in a museum walk to guess which country was shown on each door. We had so much fun!
