National Night Out 2026 was a tremendous success! Thank you to our community partners, Erie's Public Schools, and United Way of Erie County for making this event possible through an incredible team effort. We hope everyone had a wonderful time, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to bring our community together. See you next year!❤️

As a reminder, please review our Standard School Attire guidelines that were previously shared. This quick guide helps students and families stay on track with daily expectations and supports a safe, respectful learning environment. Thank you for your continued partnership!

Last week, we had some amazing Wegmans volunteers help us get ready for National Night Out! They spent time organizing our Community Closet and sorting clothing so we can provide free items to families during tomorrow’s event. We will have clothing available in all sizes, completely free, and bags will be provided for you to take what you need. We are so excited for National Night Out and can’t wait to see our community come together tomorrow!

We are one week away from National Night Out!!!

🎶 A huge thank you to Amy Varckette Music for joining our enrichment classrooms today!

Amy shared her journey of becoming a musician, how she launched her music career, and how she balances performing while also working as a chiropractor. Our students loved learning about the many paths a career can take and were inspired by her story.

Thank you, Amy, for making today such a fun and memorable experience for our students!

Last week, our students at East Middle had an amazing time learning from Park's Taekwondo Academy! A huge thank you to Master Justin and the Park’s Taekwondo team for leading a fun-filled day of learning, movement, and excitement. We appreciate you spending the day with us!
