A message from your Principal
Dear Fabulous EHES Families,
For over 13 years I have had the amazing opportunity to be a part of this school community, and I am so thankful for your partnership. Every day our students are doing so much more than just reading, writing, and math - they are learning how to engage in thoughtful discussions built on evidence, they are respectfully agreeing, disagreeing and adding on to someone else's thinking, and learning how to respond and react to difficult situations. Our students are asking difficult questions, engaging in courageous conversations, and advocating for their needs as learners and as young people. We are constantly learning from them, and I continue to be humbled to be their principal.
As we enter 2022, I am so excited for all that our children will accomplish in our school community.
In partnership,
Renee Canales
