Meet the East End Elementary Kindergarten Team:
We can’t say it enough — our kindergarten teachers are truly something special. From the moment they walk through the door to the last little wave goodbye, they are pouring their hearts into every child, every day.
They are educators, caregivers, artists, cheerleaders, and problem-solvers — all rolled into one. Whether it’s teaching letters and numbers, guiding social-emotional growth, calming nerves, encouraging independence, or tying shoes for the 18th time before lunch... they do it ALL with patience, passion, and joy.
Our kinders may be little, but the work our teachers do is HUGE.
To our kindergarten heroes: You’re seen, you’re appreciated, and you’re absolutely amazing.

East End Elementary had a Perseverance Pep Rally last week to remind our students just how powerful it is to believe in yourself—especially during state testing!
We know that tests can be tricky and questions can get tough, but when that happens, we encourage our students to "Try Your Best, Take Your Time, and NEVER Give Up.
Each class showed off their determination in a fun “Perseverance Pull” — a tug-of-war challenge symbolizing the strength it takes to keep pushing forward, even when things get hard.
And guess who showed up to cheer us on? That’s right—Buzz was there, bringing the energy and reminding us all to keep working hard and stay strong.
Way to go, students! Let’s keep that perseverance going—YOU’VE GOT THIS!
