We are the champions, my friends! We should all take a moment to be grateful for the diligence of our students, parents, teachers, and staff for an entire year in person without any periods of virtual learning during a global pandemic. We should all be proud of that accomplishment.
The end of the year is always bittersweet. It’s sad to not see your teacher or favorite ESE staff every day but summer is full of FUN! We have had some fun times here at ESE. Here are some favorites … glow games, sharpie shop, movie day, and Recess.
May Birthdays
Sending well wishes to all our students with May birthdays!
April showers bring May flowers, and their special flower is Lilly of the Valley! Their zodiac sign could be Taurus or Gemini. Famous people born in May are Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, JoJo Siwa, Weslie Ranae Fowler, Blippi!! In May, there is a lot to celebrate, Principals Day and Mother Goose, grab your favorite cloak to celebrate Harry Potter Day, May the Fourth be with you, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, Cinco de Mayo, and National Clean Your Room Day!

Inclusion Corner
Star Stretch
That’s a wrap on this school year! We hope you have enjoyed Inclusion Corner this year. Of course, we couldn’t miss an opportunity to share one more mindfulness technique with you.
Here is the “star” stretching technique to take with you on summer vacation. We hope you have a safe and fun summer break!
- Stand straight with your feet just slightly more than hip-distance apart.
- Lift your arms up so they form an X or a star shape with your entire body.
- Hold the pose for 5 deep breaths.
- Try to keep outside thoughts out, focus on the stretch and your breath.
