ESD parents are a vital part of the ESD community and are involved in a wide variety of volunteer efforts within the school.   Thanks to the many who help make our community vibrant and warm.

Our projects range from helping staff breakfast to volunteering at ball games to participating at events to sponsoring the Faculty Grant Program, which annual provides $100,000 to our faculty for their continued professional development.

If you are not already, we invite you to get involved - you'll be glad did!

The Eagle

Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.  When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.

When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them. God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.

Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
