Mrs. Weber and the ESS PTO would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Yi Family, Aiden Yi is a student at ESS.  

The family made a donation to ESS that allowed us to purchase 12 new replacement swings along with the supporting hardware for the older swing sets on the playground.   Our Father’s Club will be installing them when they arrive.  

We truly thank the Yi Family for this generous contribution to help improve our playground!
