Ms. Greene and Mrs. Richardson combined their kindergarten and second grade classes to work on an art projects together. They learned how to make masterpieces out of messes. Scribble art was huge hit. It was great to see all of the students talk to their new friends and work so hard on their projects.

🧠✨ Brain Smart Start in action! Our first graders kicked off our daily Morning Meeting by getting their brains and bodies ready to learn! Morning meetings help students feel safe, valued, and connected. Greeting one another and sharing builds trust and belonging, which is especially important for young learners. We are ready for the day! ❤️

The PTA meeting, originally scheduled for tomorrow, has been postponed to next week, Tuesday, January 20th at 6pm.

Visit Octeen throughout January and order a Bobcat Bounce, and they will contribute $1 from every drink sale to the Bowlesburg PTA.

Today is the End of 2nd Quarter.

Happy New Year, EMSD! We hope you enjoyed your winter break.
School will resume on Monday, January 5th.
