We loved welcoming guest speaker Erin Pompa to EIS this week! Erin inspired students to challenge negative thinking, build resilience, and believe in their potential. Students also enjoyed connecting with her during small-group lunchtime activities focused on growth, courage, and thinking beyond limits.

Our students in Mrs. Curtis’s ELA class just wrapped up an incredible deep dive into The Outsiders! To conclude the novel, the class held a spirited mock trial to determine the future of the Curtis brothers. The "court" had to decide the best path for Ponyboy and Sodapop: should they be allowed to stay home with Darry, or should they move right here to Westfield to live with their aunt and uncle? It was wonderful to see our students using evidence from the text to build their cases and engage so deeply with these classic characters.

November is all about gratitude at EIS. This week, students took part in adding to the EIS Time Capsule by writing letters to their future selves, which they’ll open in June. It was a thoughtful opportunity for them to set goals, reflect on their hopes for the future, and take a moment for a bit of self-care. It was wonderful to see students pause and show themselves some gratitude.
