A Breath of Fresh Air
Above are photos from the Summer Adventure Academy at the Madeline English featuring Yoga Instructor and EPS Educator, Maureen Morelli. This year's Summer Adventure Academy was a huge success. In addition to teaching and practicing Yoga daily, students also participated in enrichment activities such as kit making, puzzle solving and a favorite of first graders, freeze dancing! Ms. Morelli was the recipient of the 2022-2023 EPS Innovation Scholarship, which she used to help develop her yoga skills.* * * * * * * *

SALT … Sweet!
EPS Receives Grant for Middle School Programming at the Lafayette
The EPS is thrilled to announce that it has received a significant state grant to implement year-round after-school and summer programming for Lafayette School 5-8 graders. The district was awarded a 21st Century Community Learning Center’s SALT Grant in the amount of $180,000. SALT stands for Supporting Additional Learning Time. It will be immensely helpful in the district’s efforts to create Out of School Time (OST) opportunities for middle school students.
In developing the program at the Lafayette, we are hiring one Site Coordinator and four Lead Teachers. The Site Coordinator will be responsible for supervising the daily operations of the after school program. This includes hiring and training staff, supervising student leaders, organizing field trips and events, creating program policies and systems, providing accurate data for reporting purposes, managing supplies and materials, communicating with community partners, and ensuring positive participation and regular attendance of all program participants.
Lead Teachers will be responsible for the daily operations of the after school program, developing and leading enrichment activities, supporting with homework, and ensuring students actively and positively participate in all program components.
