Lower School Families,

We’ve had a great week in the Lower School. Thanks to the Parents Guild & our Counseling Team for bringing Protect Young Eyes to Episcopal. K-5 students learned more about creating safe digital spaces on Tuesday & Wednesday. We held a School Safety Parent Coffee yesterday and appreciate your strong support for our safety routines. Thursday, students showed school spirit dressing in camo to celebrate the home football game. Today, we celebrate Halloween with a parade and classroom parties. I hope you and your family have a fun and safe Halloween tonight!
