Sixth Graders from ESCS participated in a leadership and sportsmanship interactive program, Level the Field. Tufts athletes provided classes once a week and sponsored ESCS student attendance at Sports clinics and Tufts games.  Level the Field closing ceremonies were held April 27^th at Tufts.  Our students thoroughly enjoyed this program.

ESCS held the yearly math event at the Edgerly for Grades 2, 3 and 4 where parents and students were involved in games and activities, while learning how math is taught.
