Yesterday our second graders in Mrs Mansour's class showed their love for teamwork. Students spent time working on a "Team Building Tuesday" activity promoting relationships in a group along with a positive environment in our classroom. #teamBUILDING

Thank you to our EPS Staff for working so hard during our Wednesday morning professional development. This past week was an incredibly informative presentation by our own, Mrs. Mansour, about mindfulness and regulating breathing. After teachers learned some new strategies to implement in their classrooms, we spent time setting team and individual goals.
