Welcome parents/guardians!
We are looking forward to an exciting year ahead. ESA is fortunate enough to have two parent councils and we will be having a joint meeting on Septmber 12th at 7:00 to 9:00 pm in the ESA Library so you can meet both teams and we can tell you of our plans for the upcoming school year.
The ESA School Council provides a forum where parents, the school principal and other members of the school community discuss school issues and plan ways to improve the school.
SESAT (Supporters of ESA Talent) is our school fundraising committee solely for the Arts Majors. SESAT hosts events, sells refreshments at every ESA performance/show and prepares pancake breakfasts and afterschool healthy snacks for the students. With the support of parents, guardians, community members and partners, SESAT raised more than $46,000 last year to support the Arts programs at ESA.
Together , both councils drive events that are both informational and fun We collaborate to affect positive change in our school and we strive to bring members of our wonderful community together.
If you are new to ESA and want to learn more, meet other parents or get involved, we would love to see you at the meeting. If you have joined us in the past, we look forward to seeing you again.
