In case you have not heard, we have two teachers retiring this year: Therese Nowlin and Kim Hahn. If you see them, please wish them well as they start a new chapter.
Two other teachers are also leaving our campus. Mrs. Stair is heading to the high school to join the CTE team. Ms. Tolbert will be moving full time to Thunder Mountain to teach history. Wish them well on their new adventures.
We will miss them at EMS, but...Once a Timberwolf always a Timberwolf!
Please join the Enumclaw School District as we pay tribute and thank the retirees and legacy staff leaving this school year. We appreciate the many years of dedicated service and the difference you have made in students’ lives. Congratulations on your retirement and other new adventures.

ESD is proud to celebrate Flag Day by reflecting on the values and history that our flag represents. As a daily practice, students and staff recite the Pledge of Allegiance, reaffirming our commitment to the principles the American flag represents:
""I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.""
Let us remember and cherish the freedoms and opportunities that the flag embodies. May we continually strive for unity and uphold the ideals that make our country great.
Happy Flag Day!
