Action Required
Friends of EDS is our parent/teacher association. Click the link below to learn more about this organization, see next year's executive committee, and read minutes from the previous meetings.
New! Welcome, Mason!
The Day School family welcomed its newest member, Mason Blake Morgan,class of 2034, on April 1. Congratulations to mom, Caitlin (school nurse) and dad, Mike! A special congratulations to grandfather "G", our very own Blake Oeth.
Evansville Day School's "The Beauty of Nature" mural will be displayed at the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana's 2016 Another's Treasure exhibit.
The exhibit will officially open on April 8th, and a reception and award presentation will be held on Earth Day, Friday, April 22, from 5:30 pm - 7 pm.
The work is a collaborative effort between our middle and primary school students. Last fall, 6th graders created art based on the questio
n, "What does a sustainable world look like?" The winning design is an original watercolor by Emma Troost, depicting an eagle soaring over green hills in front of a rising sun. 8th grade students painted the enlarged design on plywood panels. Mrs. Powell's science students washed and prepared the caps, and the Primary students sorted the caps by color and placed them on the mural.
Dress Code Reminder
With the weather changing, now is the time to review dress code.
Reminder that leggings should be worn only under skirts and dresses, not as pants alone. Jeans day may include jean shorts as long as they meet the length requirement of shorts on other days (mid-thigh).

She introduced her homeland and talked about the music, geography, customs, history, and other fun cultural activities. She even taught short songs/dances and spoke to our 3rd and 4th graders in only Spanish! She was with us all day and presented to different classes each period.
