These former RSS fifth graders were specially invited to present at the California Civic Learning Summit this February in Sacramento. 👏

CSS kindergarteners had an absolute blast celebrating Holi, the festival of colors! 🌈🎉
With vibrant powders flying through the air, laughter, and joy all around, they embraced the spirit of love, unity, and new beginnings. It was magical to watch their excitement as they tossed colors and learned about this beautiful tradition!
CSS recently celebrated Neurodiversity Week, honoring the beauty of different minds! 🌟
To kick things off, Ms. Ahrens and Ms. Moran hosted a read aloud of This is My Brain! A Book on Neurodiversity. Students also got creative during Spirit Week—rocking shirts with words or images that communicate in different ways, cozy sensory-friendly PJs, and neon to show that their differences make them shine bright!
CSS classes had the opportunity to explore a virtual library featuring stories of neurodiverse children. Students reflected on what makes their minds unique through writing and art, and their creations now proudly hang in our main office.
Enjoy your Spring Break! Students and staff return on Monday, April 14. See you again soon! 👋
Our school librarians ensure students have the guidance they need to excel. From promoting reading to supporting research, their impact is monumental—and we want to say THANK YOU! 🙏

Meet ESUSD Sweethearts Lauren & Garrett Thompson! 💙
Members of the Class of 2010, they first met during their junior year at ESHS. Lauren was a new student and arrived 20 minutes late to her first class, as she couldn’t find the classroom.
When she got to class, there was only one seat remaining—right in front of her future husband! Now, they celebrate 10 years of marriage and the joy of raising two children together.

Celebrating ESUSD Sweethearts! 💙
Chris and Tracey Dewar (ESHS Class of '96 and '97) were high school friends who lost touch after graduation.
They eventually lost touch, but reconnected on Facebook in 2010! Despite living in two different states—Tracey was in Texas and Chris was in California—they made long-distance dating work.
The couple tied the knot in 2011 and now call Flower Mound, TX, home!

We are thrilled to share that Clara Schiff, a talented second-grader from Center Street Elementary School, has won second place in the California State PTA Reflections competition! 🏆✨
Clara’s music composition entry titled, "Being Me" was submitted under this year’s theme “Accepting Imperfection”. Her submission stood out among hundreds of submissions from students across the state. Her creativity, dedication, and artistic expression earned her this incredible achievement, bringing pride to our school and community.
The PTA Reflections program encourages students to express themselves through visual arts, literature, music composition, dance choreography, film production, and photography. Clara’s work beautifully captured the theme and impressed the judges with its originality and heartfelt message.
