In 7th grade science, our young geologists took a deep dive into the powerful forces shaping our planet! 🌍
Using interactive models, students explored how tectonic plates move and collide, leading to the formation of ocean basins, mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes. It was hands-on learning at its best as they visualized the Earth’s dynamic crust in action. 🌋
From shifting plates to rising mountains, our students are discovering the science behind Earth’s major geological events—and loving every moment of it!
Elena Wagner-Bagues is an outstanding Spanish teacher at El Segundo High School. But before that, she was a student here! 🌟
We loved hearing from Nate Webb at the ESMS assembly! He shared powerful lessons on kindness, anti-bullying, and resilience in a digital world.
Special thanks to our PTSA for sponsoring. Let’s keep these values at the heart of our school community! 🐾
We cannot possibly speak about our preschool without mentioning one person who has been here through the years—and that is Ms. Mary Jo! ❤️
Her many years of service and support of #ESUSD comes down to her experience with learning through play. There is a healthy balance of traditional and student-driven activities in her class.
Here she is waiting for friends while becoming part of a spontaneous student game. Kids began singing with her while she counted their circles around her.
What a splendid teachable moment in a preschool day! 🌞

Celebrating this heritage is more than acknowledging history—it’s about understanding the present contributions and future aspirations of Native American peoples.
