📚✨ Learning never stops!

This week, 13 members of our EEB team had the opportunity to attend the Literacy for All Institute! We spent time learning alongside educators and literacy experts through engaging presentations and breakout sessions focused on strengthening literacy instruction for all students.

Our team is excited to bring back new strategies, ideas, and resources to continue growing readers and writers in our classrooms. 💜💛

We are grateful for opportunities that help us keep learning so we can continue giving our students the very best!

📚☀️ Keep the learning going this summer!

Reading together for just 20 minutes a day helps students strengthen vocabulary, improve comprehension, and build a lifelong love of reading. Whether it's a bedtime story, a trip to the library, or a favorite chapter book, every page makes a difference.

Check out our summer reading recommendations and make reading part of your family's summer fun! 📖✨

Caps off to our Kindergarten graduates! 🎓💜💛

This group came to us learning letters, routines, and how to be “big kids”… and now look at them! They’ve grown into readers, writers, problem-solvers, and confident little leaders ready for 1st grade.

We are so proud of all the hard work, growth, smiles, and memories made this year at EEB. Kindergarten was just the beginning. The future is bright for our Tornadoes! 🌪️✨

Families, join us for our Kindergarten graduation TOMORROW!

Today we celebrated more than just a promotion ceremony — we celebrated a group of students who have grown, persevered, laughed, learned, and left their mark on Emma E. Booker. 💜💛

To our 5th graders: you came in as little Tornadoes, and you’re leaving ready to take on middle school with confidence. We’ve watched you grow into leaders, role models, and unforgettable personalities that helped shape our school family.

From field trips and testing days to hallway memories, friendships, and classroom laughs — this class has brought so much energy and heart to our campus.

We are proud of each and every one of you and can’t wait to see what you do next. Once a Tornado, always a Tornado. 🌪️🎓

Families- join us TOMORROW for our 5th grade graduation!

On Friday, we celebrated a very special milestone: Pre-K Graduation! 🎓💜💛

We are so proud of our little learners and all of the growth they’ve made this year. From learning letters and numbers to building friendships and confidence, these students are ready to take on Kindergarten!

Thank you to our amazing teachers, staff, and families for supporting our students every step of the way. Congratulations, graduates, your future is bright!
