Our Kindergarteners visited the Kohl Children's Museum today! Aside from exploring this incredible museum, students participated in "Animals as Architects". This activity-based trip focused on learning about animal homes and building their own orb to help birds make nests.

Today's celebration of Culture Day allowed our students and staff to show our unity in diversity. We were able to discuss similarities and differences between our cultures. We love our EPS family! #A-Zcountdown
