Essex PS Read/Walk-a-thon a huge success!

Our annual school fundraiser was a huge success! Our Read/Walk-a-thon was on Friday, October 25 with many students walking to Sadler's Pond! Our grade 1 students walked to Stanton Court; while our Kindergarten and GAINS students walked the track on our school grounds! It was heart-warming to have to so many parents and grandparents join us on our community walk! Thank you for all donations from our parents, family members and the larger Essex community supporting our students! Our Read-a-thon featured special guests from Essex Fire & Rescue, Essex OPP, Essex 73 hockey players, and our Trustee Julia Burgess who all read books to many classes. Thank you for instilling the love of reading within our students!

EPS Students Brighten Holidays for others

Lauren and Molly were busy over the holidays brainstorming ways to brighten up others! The girls used their creative talents to design cheerful homemade cards. and delivered them to seniors at Iler Lodge! The seniors smiled and were obviously touched by the act of kindness during the holidays. In addition, Lauren and her older sister donated Turkey Baskets for families in need during the holiday season. Lauren helped buy, pack and distribute 10 turkey dinners in the Essex area. #PhoenixProud
Big Smiles at the Holiday Bazaar!

Our Essex PS annual Holiday Bazaar was a huge success this year! Students were able to do their holiday shopping for their family and friends; as well as being able to get it gift wrapped to keep it as a surprise until the big day. Kindness was in abundance as students, staff and parents enjoyed the bazaar. Parent council operated a 'regifting' table from donated community items, wrapping and baked goods tables. Hot chocolate and popcorn was also available for purchase to make the day so sweet! We appreciate the help of many volunteers to make this day a reality. Thank you to our amazing School Advisory Council members for organizing this wonderful community event!
