501 spent time “Speed Dating” a variety of books, and got to decided which new book they wanted to bring home. The goal was to promotes some quality reading time over break.






We topped off our day of celebrations by celebrating through song (and dance) with our all school sing-along!
We wish you a wonderful winter break!




Today we had our first Multiple Intelligences Day: "Celebrations"!
Presenters from our community joined us to share many ways that they celebrate. Students learned, created, danced, played, and celebrated.





It's almost winter break and the kindergarteners are enjoying the snow!






The EFA+ smART Bowl is coming soon! Practicing quiz questions with your student is a great way to support them. If they stump you, they can enter to win a smARTy award!

A friendly reminder of EFA+ Holiday Dress Up Days!


Students in K02 learned about measuring and coding with Beebots in Library.






Students in 303 used Math Smarts, People Smarts, and a cooperative structure called “Rally Coach” to practice their story problems.




Students in Dance are participating in Pound.
Pound helps students bring out their inner rockstar through exercise.
Check out their awesome moves using Ripstix!





3rd graders created a Dash Robot with Launcher in Library. They constructed a freestanding hoop or structure and then attempted to successfully launch a ball through or into their structure.




Please consider helping your child participate in a festive week of fun!
Holiday dress up days will take play December 16-20th. See the graphic for details.
