During our 8th grade Peer Leadership Training, students took part in an activity to design their ideal school. They came together to reflect on what they love about EIS and to brainstorm ways we can continue strengthening our school community. Working in groups, students presented their ideas to Mrs. Shall, offering thoughtful suggestions for building a stronger and more connected school environment. Their willingness and dedication to EIS is truly inspiring!

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.

During Week of Respect, our students explored how words can affect others. Even when the intent isn’t to hurt, our words still have an impact. From our ‘Break the Ice, Not People’ wall to bystander empowerment activities, students were challenged to speak up instead of laughing along. We learned that kindness isn’t silence, it’s courage. Think beyond your words. Speak up and choose respect!

Today, we had our first school wide assembly for the 2025-2026 school year here at EIS. Students shared their knowledge of the EIS core values (take care of this place, each other, and ourselves), the role of our Peer Leaders, how to be nominated for Student of the Month, and bike safety, to name a few. This is our favorite way to kick off a new school year!
