WELCOME, FRIENDS OF ESSEX ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!
The role of FoEES, Essex Elementary School’s PTO, is to support the Essex Elementary staff and ultimately, our students. Each year, FoEES raises money through fundraising and grant writing efforts to provide opportunities for staff to enhance their classrooms and offer inspiring enrichment programs for every student.
If you have a child attending Essex Elementary, you are already a member of FoEES! We invite you to join us as a Board Member, Chairperson, volunteer or by making a donation.

GET TO KNOW THE STAFF
Meetings are scheduled on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM. We meet in person at EES in the Teacher’s Lounge and virtually via Google Meet.
We want our EES community to feel connected without feeling obligated! There is no pressure to attend every month or even the entire meeting.
Your input, ideas and suggestions are always appreciated. And, if you become interested, we always need and welcome new volunteers as well as board and committee members.
