Welcome to the Friends of Essex Elementary School Enrichment page!

The Friends of EES partners with teachers and school leaders to fund and coordinate engaging programs, cultural assemblies, and immersive field trips for every student from Kindergarten through 5th grade.

Supported entirely by generous community donations, local grants, and fundraising, these hands-on experiences expand classroom learning and ignite a lifelong curiosity in our young learners.

DID YOU KNOW?

Field trips, guest speakers, assemblies, and author visits are funded entirely through donations to the Friends of EES—not the school district budget.

Your financial support is what makes these hands-on opportunities possible for every K–5 classroom.
