A huge thank you to our school staff and Ms. Leia from QC Music Therapy for leading classrooms at Bowlesburg, Hillcrest, and Wells in a special winter performance in select classrooms. Students enjoyed exploring music through movement, singing, and hands-on interaction with various instruments. It was a beautiful display of fun and creativity in each room! We love seeing our students engaging with the power of music.

🎉 EMSD 37 Principals Shine at Statewide Conference! 🎉

We are proud to celebrate three of our elementary principals who represented our district this week at the Rising Student Achievement Conference!

They shared their expertise with school leaders from across the state, focusing on two critical areas: how we ensure the Vertical Alignment of Educational Standards for seamless learning progression from grade to grade, and effective strategies for Supporting Student Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) needs to build a positive school culture.

Way to represent, leaders!

What a fantastic start to the week at Bowlesburg Elementary! 🤩

We were thrilled to have our Board of Education President, Chris VanSpeybroeck, visit a third-grade class at Bowlesburg Elementary in the library this morning for a special read-aloud session! Our students absolutely loved hearing the story, "Stellaluna," and engaging in a great discussion afterward.

It's moments like these that reinforce the strong connection between our district leadership and our students. Thank you, President VanSpeybroeck, for taking the time to share your love of reading!
