New! Grandparents Day - Friday, May 6
Grandparents Day is an annual Evansville Day School tradition, and your child's grandparents will be receiving a special invitation. This exciting day will begin at 10:45 am. Grandparents are requested to go straight to the gym when they get to EDS. The teachers will walk the children to the gym for a musical program. At the conclusion, children will be dismissed to their grandparents by grade level for lunch. 

It is a tradition and each grandchild bring lunch for both themselves and their grandparents to share. After lunch, children may bring their grandparents to the book fair, do a classroom tour, and/or browse through the Young Author's Book display. 

Note: We will not be using our lunch vendor on this day. Below is a link to an order form from Penn Station for your convenience. If you choose to order from Penn Station, please return the reply slip and payment on or before Wednesday, April 27.

Snapshots of the Week

First graders making paper bag puppets.

Second graders making paper bag puppets and highlighting fairy tale scripts for in-classroom puppetry.

Brilliant young minds at work and play learning problem solving skills that will benefit them greatly in the future.

Kathy Stroube, Ashely Swinford, and Chris Bazinski working with bees. This is an EDS project at the UE community garden. The bees were swarming (preparing to find a new home), so they took a new box over and were relocating the bees to the hive.

Ms. Patricia Medina, Fulbright Foreign Language Teacher at the University of Evansville, was on our campus Tuesday talking to our preschool through primary students about Venezuela.  She introduced her homeland and talked about geography, customs, history, music, food, sports and other fun facts.  Students also had the opportunity to learn new Spanish songs, as well as make Venezuelan flags.  She was with us all day and presented to different classes each period.  The next international speaker will be presenting on Friday, April 29 from Colombia!
