Epperly Heights Elementary School

Chocolate bars are going home this week!! Be sure to check out the parent letter if you have any questions. Each box sold contributes money to YOUR child's classroom. Let's do this! 🍫💙

It's time for a backpack check! Tip: Check your child's backpack EACH NIGHT for important reminders, student grades, agenda announcements, rewards, permission slips, etc. 🎒 Specifically, if you have not turned in that bright yellow federal survey card, they are due ASAP! We are hoping for 100%, and are only missing a few! Also, create a habit of cleaning out old food, open snacks, and disinfecting your child's materials. Together, we can fight germs and illnesses.

Happy Day of the Dead to our families who celebrate! For those who don't know, Dia De Los Muertos is Mexican holiday on November 1st and 2nd where families can remember loved ones who have passed away. It's a happy time, not a sad one, to celebrate life and death by creating special art, visiting loved one's graves, and having parties with food and music. 🎶❤️🪦Families honor the deceased with bright decorations like marigolds and by placing their favorite foods and drinks on an ofrenda (altar) to welcome their spirits home. The popular Disney movie Coco, is a great representation of this vibrant holiday. 🇲🇽🫶🏽 Check out the artwork Mr. Chris' class made when learning about this special tradition. 🤩

We love hands-on learning at Epperly Heights! Mrs. Manning's 4th grade class has been learning about waves. By dropping water and glitter in pans, they were able to see various behaviors of the water. Then, they observed the surface for waves and changes. Science is the best! 🌊🧑🏽‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬

Ms. Nicky's class has learned all about the life cycle of a pumpkin this week! They painted mini pumpkins, did some carving, tried the seeds, and had yummy pumpkin cake! 🎃

A great day for the Woot Woot Wagon! Teachers got an energy boost on this crazy Friday! We’re grateful for our faculty and the work they do each day. 🐎💚 EH is home to the best!

Here at Epperly Heights we pride ourselves on our unified goals. Together, we create a space for all to learn, dream, and belong. Today, students and staff are "teamed up" in our green, black, and white. 🐎💚

It's been a busy week at Epperly Heights! Del City Police Department and Mrs. Rice collaborated on a Red Ribbon Week presentation for our 4th and 5th graders. This lesson educated students on the dangers and impact of drug use. Through clear visuals and thoughtful conversations, students were able to discuss the ins and outs of safe decisions and healthy futures. We are so grateful for the time spent in our classrooms and the impact this will have on our Mustangs.

It's all fun and games until the cops show up... then it's even better! 🤪 Some 4th grade students had a few surprise teammates today. Dodgeball is a crowd favorite at Epperly Heights. 💙💪🏽

Mustang futures are UNLIMITED. 🎶 We're prepared to be drug FOR GOOD! 💚🩷 As you can see, students and staff are DANCING THROUGH LIFE at Epperly Heights.
