A Message From The Principal
November 5, 2026
Good Afternoon, EBE Families,
I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful fall weather and colorful foliage. Life is good at EBE! Our students are happy, healthy, and having lots of fun while learning and growing each day. There is nothing better than a building powered by smiles!
It’s hard to believe that the end of the first trimester is only three weeks away. As we approach this important milestone, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions or concerns about their progress.
Also, please remember to sign up for Parent-Teacher Conferences on November 23rd, 24th, and 25th. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to connect with your child’s teacher, celebrate their growth, and discuss ways we can continue working together to support their success. Please click here to sign up.
Conference times are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so I encourage families to sign up as soon as possible.
Thank you, as always, for your continued partnership and support of our students and school community.
Childhood Hunger awareness month
Childhood hunger affects much more than an empty stomach. When children do not have consistent access to nutritious food, it can affect their ability to concentrate, learn, regulate their emotions, participate in school, and develop physically and socially.
For schools, addressing hunger is an important part of supporting the whole child. Students are better prepared to learn, connect with others, and fully engage in their school experience when their basic needs are met. Hunger can affect any family, and it is not always easy to recognize. Creating a caring school community means responding with compassion, dignity, and without judgment.
By increasing awareness, connecting families with resources, and supporting programs that provide reliable access to nutritious food, we can help ensure that every child comes to school nourished, supported, and ready to learn and thrive.
When we help meet a child's basic needs, we create stronger opportunities for learning, belonging, and success. Click here to view the National Childhood Hunger Statistics.
