This Week at EDS!

What a way to begin Spring! Hope everyone enjoyed the snowy morning and warm afternoon!

It is a short week at EDS, we are CLOSED on Good Friday!

Our Easter Egg Decorating event is Wednesday at 1pm. All families are invited to attend to decorate eggs! This is a special occasion for you to work with your child to decorate eggs together a variety of ways. Please send in your supplies by Wednesday morning. Check out the Perfect Potluck link to see what you can help with!

Thank you for all you do!
