Epps Island will be having Vegetable Day on Thursday April 10th at 2:00 pm.
All students are encouraged to bring a vegetable from home (example carrots, celery etc..) to enjoy at this time with the other students. The vegetable can not require cutting with a knife or cooking at school. We will also spend this time discussing the importance of including vegetables in every day meals.

The Physical Education Department is collecting the Nestle Pure Life Drinking Water Labels for the Go Play Program. We will purchase recess equipment for all grade levels with the points earned. This year each grade level will be receiving 2 soccer balls for recess time from last year's labels.
