EDS Open House, 10/25

Well, Emmanuel Day School had another very successful event last evening, our first academic Open House of the season brought in nearly every EDS family! Emmanuel was alive, as usual, as students and their families came rushing in to view the last 2 months worth of progess...meanwhile Mr. Totter and the Birkby Bros. were throwing a concert in the church! God..you have to love this place!
The parents were all very impressed with how EDS is helping to grow their children. I had many opprtunities to speak with families about a variety topics. Including which grade level I plan to stop at! Everyone is very happy with our program, the teaching staff, and what it is we actually do here at EDS. Among my favorite comments and highlights for the evening were: "Miss Dawn, we prayed for the Red Sox to win tonight". "Daddy, that is our Rotting Pumpkin for our Essperiment", Teague Hann, Augie's 2-yr old little brother, running through the school, singing "We will, We will Rock_______" fill in the blank with any noun! "Mommy...that is the Nina, Pinta, and the Santa Maria..." (of course bringing a huge smile to my face). Meg Jarvis.."Hey are you guys teaching Lucy Disco?.. I love it!" And then concluding with half of the families going to dinner down the street at our local pub or going into the church to hear the concert. What a great place! We are so fortunate to have such supportive families, fantastic staff, and the ability to offer worhsip at all times, day and night here at Emmanuel!
We have plenty of great times ahead as the holidays approach. I can't wait!
