PATHWAYS TO FREEDOM

NORTH SHORE MITZVAH DAY
Please join other EHS families in this fun and productive day!

We are trying to get a large number of EHS families together to work as a group!
You can write in "EHS family" and they will connect you with the other EHS families who are participating.

There will be activities for all ages:
  • decorating bags and assembling care packages that a 3 or 4 year old is able to do with help.
  • 4th-6th graders can participate in some of the more complicated activities. There will be adult and teen leaders to help. Please note that there is no child care for the youngest of children.

Register by April 13 
VACATION STEM PROGRAM
Please bring your non-EHS friends to experience the school and share this invitation with anyone who would enjoy some EHS hands-on STEM learning!
