Laughter, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun! Essex Elementary students started the school year by connecting with their classmates through hands-on team-building activities. 🤝
Whether it was untangling a human knot in Mrs. Irvin’s room, communicating through a hula hoop pass in Ms. Gray’s, playing Musical Chairs in Miss Darrah's 2nd grade, or sprinting in 5th-grade Relay Tic-Tac-Toe, our students showed great encouragement and school spirit on Day 1.
We love seeing our classrooms turn into supportive communities right from the start! Here's to an incredible school year ahead.
