DAY OF PLAY 2017 was a total hit! With over 35 student participants and 9 faculty advisors, it is clear how much ESM values play. We know evidence shows it reduces stress, helps us build relationships and cope with difficult times.
Middle schoolers played bus stop, football (outside! in February!), matrix and ended with a mini-basketball tournament. The art room was reserved for a nail salon, craft and hang out room. Space Jam was playing in the cafeteria where we enjoyed snacks and one another’s company. A special thanks to all the student reps who helped organize, plan and execute this AWESOME annual event. AMAZING! Thanks also to staff who took time after school to provide a safe and playful environment for our students.
See also pictures below from the visiting police officer talk from this morning. The local officer highlighted the place of bullying in the law, and made sure students were crystal clear about the differences between “normal" teenage behavior and persistent mistreatment of another person.
Ask staff, family or advisors if you have any questions.
