🚌 This week is National School Bus Safety Week! 🚌 School safety starts at the bus stop. Share these tips with your children: 🛑 Arrive at the bus stop five minutes early. 🛑 Stand five giant steps away from the curb. 🛑 Wait until the bus stops, the door opens, and the driver says it’s okay before stepping onto the bus. 🛑 Be sure the bus driver can always see you, and you can see the bus driver.
EES held its Hopes and Dreams night, where families could visit their student's classrooms, tour the school, and enjoy some ice cream! 🦁👍

Ruby was diagnosed with inoperable Stage III, Group III embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma which is a nasal cavity cancer. This type of cancer affects about 250 children a year in the US. Donating blood can help patients like Ruby maintain healthier lives and outcomes because blood donations lengthen and save the lives of those who have cancer. Please consider signing up and donating at the blood drive. https://bit.ly/3L6427A 🤍🩸🩹
