Career on Wheels update! Due to weather conditions, we will be postponing our Career on Wheels event to next Friday, October 4th from 8:45-10:45. We feel having the event outside as planned with all of our volunteers will be the most beneficial and impactful method of teaching students about prospective careers as well as the most enjoyable way to have the event.
We are all smiles here at EKB for picture day! 📸😄
Career on Wheels Event is quickly approaching! We are excited to welcome all of our amazing volunteers to EKB!
We are gearing up for our Career on Wheels event by working hard in career exploration guidance lessons! 3rd-5th explored careers through a "classroom career hike." Middle school researched prospective careers that aligned with their interests and skills. K-2nd grade read "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" and came up with career ideas! We are so proud of our EKB kiddos!
Tomorrow we will have $4 SnoBiz for purchase!
8th grade students researching monsters from Latin American Folklore for their narrative writing!
