Flik Independent School Dining Website/App

When Flik Dining begins serving lunch this Monday, Sept. 15, ESK families will have access to their new website and app designed to help parents. Both are places where families can access ESK's school dining program on the go. By downloading the app, you will be able to see the daily menu as well as use the calendar feature to see upcoming menus, see the welcome page to check out what Flik is doing at ESK during the month, and contact information for the Flik staff. Download the mySchool Dining app to see next week's lunch menu.

Vienna Coffee Fundraiser

The ESK Parents' Association launched its annual fundraiser last week. This year, the PA is joining with Vienna Coffee to create a simple stream of monthly revenue for the ESK PA and, at the same time, show support of a local coffeehouse!

Here's how it works:

Eighty percent of the parents at ESK drink at least 1-2 cups of coffee each day. Why not have those coffee drinking habits help support our school and our students! Instead of buying coffee from the local grocery or Starbucks, you can now buy the highest quality coffee from www.viennacoffeeco.com and $3.00 from every bag of coffee purchased will be given back to the school. If you, your spouse, or your company, are coffee drinkers, this is a great opportunity to buy coffee AND SUPPORT ESK.

Go to www.viennacoffeeco.com and support ESK PA today! Click here for video with step-by-step directions for ordering. If you have any questions, please contact PA President Katherine Fielden at  kikifielden@gmail.com.

Sleepers in September Drive

Girl Scout Troop 20450 is conducting the Sleepers in September drive to benefit the local charity Newborns in Need. TOMORROW is the last day to donate sleepers (pajamas with feet) to donate to newborns in our area. Many of the donations will benefit babies in area hospital neo-natal intensive care units. The sleepers must be new, in sizes preemie - 18 months. The greatest need is for preemie, newborn and 0-3 month sizes. Items may be dropped off in bins located in the Lower School, Middle School and near the Dining Hall. Partnering with Troop 20450 for this service project are Junior Kindergarten students who are making thoughtful cards to accompany the donated sleepers. We would appreciate your support in this inaugural effort. If you have any questions, please contact Kimberly Stapleton at ecokim1970@gmail.com.

Destiny Quest

ESK's new library software provides teachers, students and families with access to our outstanding library collection through the use of a new app, Destiny Quest. This week, fifth graders in Mrs. Stivers' class learned how to login to the app, search for books, put their favorite requests on hold, and see book lists created by Librarian Miranda Clark.
