ES Life Lately …
SPRING IS A TIME FOR PERFORMANCES!!
Our 3rd and 4th graders were featured in our spring talent show, and our Kindergarteners and first graders hosted guests to their classroom for informances showcasing their music learning. 2nd and 4th graders performed on the big stage recently at the High School, too! 
COLONIAL LIFE
Third graders have been learning about Colonial life during their Social Studies exploration this spring. We explored housing, food, work, and more. Students created FlipGrid videos, hands-on structures, and writing to go with their learning. 
SOCIAL STUDIES EXPLORATION – ON WISCONSIN!
As part of 3rd and 4th grade, students learn about Wisconsin during their Social Studies exploration. Check out our recent visit to the Farm HERE (a 4th grade tradition!).
Safety Town
Opportunity for 4K and Kindergarten Students
Hosted by the Sheboygan Service Club, Safety Town is a 15-hour safety education program for children who will be starting Kindergarten in Fall or who just finished Kindergarten. It teaches safety awareness and accident prevention in a fun, hands-on setting. Taught by a certified teacher with the assistance of a member of the Sheboygan Police Department, kids practice safety skills both indoors and out on our miniature Safety Town lot. 
Students learn about pedestrian safety, poisons, strangers, guns, bus safety, and more. In addition, experts to talk about dental care, pet safety, fire safety, and water safety. The Sheboygan Fire Department, Sheboygan County Health Department, Sheboygan Police Department and Community Recreation Department all help instruct the children during this 5-day program. 
Registration is open through Sunday, May 15th. You can register HERE.
From the Nurse …
May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and more and more families are seeking information and support on this as we recover from the collective trauma of the pandemic.
Help and information is available. It may be hard to talk about concerns, but simply acknowledging that you may be struggling is a really big step.
Taking a screen at mhascreening.org can help to better understand what you are experiencing and get helpful local resources. After that, consider talking to someone you trust about your results, and seek out a professional to find the
support you need.
While you may not need this information today, knowing the basics about mental health will mean you’re prepared if you ever need it. Go to mhanational.org/may to learn more.
And, did you know?
988 Coming Soon: Starting on July 16th, 2022, anyone facing a mental health crisis can call 988 and get connected to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (also called the Lifeline). The line will be staffed 24/7 with trained crisis counselors and is free and confidential.
