📢 Kona Ice is coming to ESMS on Thursday, September 18th! 🎉
Students will have the chance to enjoy a cool treat during lunch. 🍧
As this is not a PBIS event, students will be responsible for purchasing their own Kona Ice. They can either:
Purchase in person at school (cash, check, or debit card only—no electronic payments requiring student phone access)
Have a parent pre-pay using the QR code on the flyer (all payment methods accepted)
The Pre-Pay window will close at 7:00AM on the day of the event, so please plan ahead.
Don’t miss your favorite flavors—get ready to chill with Kona Ice! ❄️🍧💙

🌍💨 Our 6th graders in Mr. Tatum's class made air pollution in the UK come to life with a hands on aquarium simulation! From cityscapes and toy cars to Legos and incense smoke, students explored the causes, effects, and solutions to pollution. This activity sparked great conversations about health and government action.
