January 10 - Eastin Family WORX Program Volunteer Deadline

The summer 2025 Eastin Family WORX Internship Program has officially kicked off! 

We need parent volunteers to help interview student applicants for the WORX Program on

  • Saturday, January 18
  • Saturday, January 25
  • Saturday, February 1 

Each student is required to complete an interview conducted by an alumni or parent volunteer as part of the application process. The interviews are a great way for ESD students to practice their interviewing skills in a supportive environment, and the process also helps WORX committee members match applicants to internships that fit their interests.

All interviews are conducted virtually over Google Meet. Before the start of the interviews, an orientation will be conducted over Google Meet for new volunteers as well. Volunteers cannot be parents of current juniors. 

SIGN UP HERE

Please reach out to Asia Hakwins '13, Director of Alumni & WORX Partner Liaison, with any questions or to inquire about hosting an internship opportunity for ESD students. 

January 20 - MLK Celebration

Join us for ESD's annual community conversation and service event to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on January 20, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Early Childhood Division Rep Welcome

** Divisional news important dates last updated November 18, 2024.

Hi EC families!

I don’t know about you, but this is my absolute favorite time of year! The kids will be making so many wonderful memories before the holiday break, so please note all of the dates in your grades’ emails below. All dates will take you through the remainder of 2024!

Moms – we still need to fill spots for our Lower School Carpool Moms afternoon duty on Thursdays! You are only needed from 2:50-3:40 p.m., and you can take your kiddos with you when you’re done! If you don’t want to commit to it every Thursday, you can email Lindsey Bogel and let her know if you’re free for one or two!

Please know that no question is too small or silly—feel free to reach out to me or your grade reps at any time. We are always here to help!

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season and feel all the love and joy that it brings. Go Eagles!

Cheers,

Makenzi Dauwe (Denver ‘35, Delta ‘37)
