The EGS school-wide read was The Secret Zoo by Bryan Chick.  During two surprise assemblies today Bryan Chick talked about writing the book. How lucky were the students to be able to meet and hear the author talk about a book they all read?  This was generously sponsored by the EGS  PTO.  

The first grade class is in training.  They are training to become Super Heroes of first grade.  The Super Hero status helps them complete difficult tasks in class for example tests and really hard new concepts.  This is a great example of "Growth Mindset" in action. 

Some new faces participated in PE class at EGS.  We were joined by Sgt. Marshall, Officer Palazola, Detective Trefry and Officer Fialho.  The game played was called Pig Pen.  Officers joined teams of children to play and then teamed up on their own team.  Below are some pictures of the action along with a video. 

Kops-N-Kids have adopted the class of 2030.  Today they met with the children and introduced themselves.  Officers Aberle, O'Leary and Cimoszko will mentor and become a visible part of class of 2030 at all five elementary schools.  East Gloucester School is excited to be part of this new program.
