We kicked off our school year theme, “Lights, Camera, Action! Spotlight on Learning” by rolling out the red carpet to welcome our new and returning shining stars. This year's theme was inspired by the book Lotte’s Magical Paper Puppets.
This year, we look forward to seeing the entire EHUE community shine as our district mission—“focus on learning for every student, every day”—takes center stage.
As we continue to stay committed to our building theme, "Let's Grow Together: Growing Hearts and Growing Minds,” we continue to embrace new learning and celebrate our accomplishments.
As we continue to stay committed to our building theme, "Let's Grow Together: Growing Hearts and Growing Minds,” our students continue to focus on learning, embrace new opportunities, and nurture a culture of kindness within our community!
