She also served as the school assessment coordinator, technology liaison and faculty committee chair. Mrs. Berezo’s experience also includes teaching English language arts and math.
We are approaching the end of Quarter 2, and we have had a wonderful few months of learning taking
flight at Eden Hall! Guided by our school theme, Let Learning Take Flight, our students continue to
soar as curious thinkers and problem solvers.
We are now a month into the 2025–2026 school year, and what an exciting takeoff it has been! Our theme, Let Learning Take Flight, continues to guide us as we celebrate each student’s journey of growth, curiosity, and discovery.
We have officially reached the arrival gates of our 2025 - 2026 school year. This year's theme, Let Learning Take Flight, reminds us that every student is on a journey of learning, growth and discovery.
As we continue to stay connected to our theme, "Lights, Camera, Action! Spotlight on learning", this month we're celebrating trailblazing women like Lotte Reiniger, who have made history.
It’s hard to believe we have already wrapped up another quarter! Our EHUE stars have been hard at work and we’re thrilled to share some of the amazing things our students have accomplished!
