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 for 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.

Looking to show off your EES spirit?! We have something for every one and for every season - from hoodies, blankets, tees and even a boat tote you’re sure to find something to show off your pride in our school.
Our storefront is now open year round, in partnership with local custom apparel shop, Todd’s.
