A life was saved!

The staff of EKMS saved a life on March 11, around 12:30PM, when a delivery man collapsed in the lunchroom parking lot. Staff members who have been trained in CPR and AED responded to the CODE VALENTINE alert. Teachers and paraprofessionals performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions. The man is alive thanks to the First Responder Team and quick thinking of the EKMS staff.

Family Reading Night - big success!

At least 150 parents and students joined about 50 teachers to celebrate Family Reading Night on March 11. Different reading activities included a Book Walk, book fair, Reading Under the Stars (with Star Lab!) and other exciting events. Families enjoyed milk and cookies, and the evening ended with door prizes.
