East Sac County 2nd graders had their second visit from Dakota, the Hagge Park Naturalist. Over the last few weeks our students watched their caterpillars grow, form chrysalis', and eventually become butterflies. Dakota came back to help us tag them and release them into the wild so that they can start their journey south. The students loved this experience and were a little sad to see them go!

A Night of Friendship: ESC Vocal Concert🎶 Last night, our high school choir sang with full emotion and full volume in their fall vocal concert, “A Night of Friendship.” The evening featured a thoughtfully chosen set of songs that celebrated connection, trust, and resilience. From the "Die with a Smile” to the heartfelt harmonies in “Count on Me,” our talented students brought each piece to life with passion and precision. The haunting tones of “The Hanging Tree” were performed with stunning vocal control, while “Friend Like Me” added a burst of fun and flair to the stage. The night closed with a powerful rendition of “No One is Alone"! We’re so proud of our performers for their hard work and dedication. Great job by all involved!💛🎤👏

Paint and carpet can go a long way in transforming spaces! However, paint and carpet require capital project funds. Funding for paint and carpet comes from our PPEL Levy. The district will continue to update our spaces as funds are available. Here is an example of what is possible. Please remember to vote on Nov. 4th. Information about the districts PPEL Levy and ballot measure can be found here: https://www.eastsac.k12.ia.us/o/esccsd/page/nov-4th-ppel-vote

The kindergartners had an exciting day last Thursday. In the morning, Firefighter Chris came into each K room to show the students his full firefighting gear. He talked to them about how the gear protects firefighters from getting hurt and what his job is like. He even put on his oxygen mask and tank so the kids could hear his breathing. Then in the afternoon the kindergartners got to ride on top of the fire trucks around town! It was a great day to be a kindergartner!
