January 14 - Student Portfolio Showcase.
Dear Parents,
Happy New Year! As we return to classes and settle into the second semester, we would like to invite you to attend the Primary School Student Portfolio Showcase.
We will be hosting our portfolio viewings and classroom visits on Thursday, January 14 from 3:00-5:00 p.m. Please feel free to stop by your child's homeroom and specialty classrooms at your convenience during this time. We do ask that you arrive no later than 4:30 to have adequate time to see all of your child's work.
This special event provides an opportunity for your child to lead the conversation and share samples of his/her work and classroom activities. To allow individual time with parents, we request that alternative arrangements be made for siblings who do not attend EDS.
If you have individual questions or concerns, please contact your child's teacher to arrange a conference time as teachers will not be available to discuss individual concerns during the portfolio event.
Thanks so much!
Robin Renschler
Head of Primary School

| Before Christmas break, Primary School students spent time creating blankets, scarves and bags for Chemo Buddies. The pictures above were featured in the Courier and Press. Thank you to all of those that provided materials and volunteered their time to help make this possible! Without your help and donations we would not have been able to donate nearly 120 bags and 30 blankets to cancer patients. |
Please join us in congratulating Megan Collins. She
graduated on December 19th with her MA in
Elementary Education Curriculum and Instruction
from Indiana Wesleyan!
