To all our ESD staff, families, and community, may your days be merry and bright! Have a fabulous Christmas!
“If you’re always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you’re in? Slow down and enjoy the moment you’re in and live your life to the fullest.”
― Nanette Mathews
Although we may not be in school over the next two weeks, we know how easy it is to fall into the hustle-and-bustle of the holiday season. We hope you will make the time to "take a break" and enjoy the moment.

It's National Twin Day!
Identical twins Laura and Leslie Palculict are both teachers in the El Dorado School District. Laura (on the left) teaches 2nd grade at Northwest, and Leslie (the right) is a 5th-grade reading teacher at WMS. Up until yesterday, they've shared *almost* everything...now, Leslie is married, and they'll have a different last name! Congrats, Leslie!
