As School Social Work Week comes to a close, we want to shine a bright light on our very own Ms. Hoffman!
A school is more than just classrooms—it’s a community. Whether Ms. Hoffman is advocating for students, supporting our staff, or navigating important work with our families, she does it all with compassion and care.
*For our Students: She is a fearless advocate who ensures every child feels seen and heard.
*For our Families: She builds bridges between home, school, and the community.
*For our Staff: She is a pillar of support and a reminder of the power of empathy and relationships.
Thank you, Ms. Hoffman for your dedication to equity, kindness, and the well-being of every individual who walks through our doors. We are so lucky to have you! 🧡 💜

It's the RIROE Employee of the Month Award! Ms. Silva is one of our valued instructional paraprofessionals at the East Moline Early Learning Center. Ms. Silva began her journey with us last year, and was a parent in our district prior to her employment with us. Recently, as we have navigated various challenges, Ms. Silva has been incredibly dependable, stepping in wherever she was needed without hesitation. She maintains a steady, patient presence with our students and is adaptable at handling any challenges that come her way. She is a team player who works hard to keep things running smoothly. She also strives to connect with students to form solid relationships, and is a trusted Safekeeper. Ms. Silva is an important part of our ELC School Family! #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY

Celebrating Read Across America with our amazing little readers! 📚✨
We loved seeing all the fun mismatched socks on Tuesday!
Reading together at home makes such a difference.
Please send your child’s photo to their teacher so we can print and proudly display it in our classroom!

✈️ Panther Passport: Adventures of Petey...Destination Mexico! 🇲🇽
Our world-traveling mascot is at it again! After his incredible trip to Egypt, Petey the Panther hitched a ride with our wonderful paraprofessional, Ms. Vicky, for a vibrant adventure in Mexico!
From exploring historic landmarks to soaking up the beautiful culture, Petey had the time of his life representing our Little Panthers across the globe. He explored stunning architecture and colorful streets, learned about local traditions and history, and brought back stories to share with our students! #PeteyThePanther #TravelGoals #MascotOnTheMove #PantherPassport #EMSD37Pride #growingthroughPLAY
