🦸‍♂️❤️ Every Wrangler Has the Power to Make Good Choices! 💪 Our 3rd–5th grade Wranglers got a head start on Red Ribbon Week with a SUPER presentation from Midcoast today! Students learned that being a superhero means standing up for yourself, resisting peer pressure, and having the courage to say NO to negative influences! What a fun way to reinforce our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) standards while teaching important life skills! 💙🤍 Thank you, Midcoast, for reminding our Wranglers that they all have the power to make positive choices!

🧩➗ Math Puzzles! ✏️💙 Our 5th graders were putting those math brains to work today! They did a GREAT job practicing 2-digit by 1-digit multiplication while working through a fun math puzzle challenge. There was lots of thinking, problem-solving, and a little friendly competition along the way! 🧠✨🧩💙 Way to work hard, Wranglers! ⭐

🏗️ EES G/T Takes on the Tallest Tower Challenge! ⭐ Our EES G/T students put their creativity and problem-solving skills to the test today with the “Tallest Tower” Challenge!

📚✨ A special guest joined Mrs. Wilkins’s kindergarten class for library time this week!

Our superintendent, Mr. Briscoe, stopped by to read *A Perfectly Messed-Up Story* by Patrick McDonnell. Our little Wranglers loved the silly story and enjoyed having Mr. Briscoe share the fun of reading with them! 💙🤍

Thank you, Mr. Briscoe, for making library time extra special! 📖

💙 A MESSAGE FROM EDNA ELEMENTARY Dear Edna Elementary Families, What a wonderful first day at Edna Elementary! It was so exciting to welcome our Wranglers back and see our hallways and classrooms filled with smiling faces again. Thank you to our families for your patience, support, and flexibility today. The beginning of a new school year takes a little time to settle into, and we appreciate everyone working together as our students learn their new routines. 🚗 Reminder for Tomorrow Morning Beginning tomorrow, Edna Elementary will be a closed campus, and parents/guardians will not be able to walk students into the building. We will have plenty of staff members ready to welcome our Wranglers and help them get where they need to go! 💙 Our back car rider line opens at 7:10 AM, and the front circle drive opens at 7:35 AM for PK–1 drop-off only. Please do not enter or use the front circle drive before 7:35 AM, as this area is needed for our buses. Students dropped off in the front will enter through the main doors. Please have your child ready to exit the vehicle with their belongings when you reach the drop-off area. Staff will be there to open vehicle doors and help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently. We are giving grace as everyone adjusts to new morning routines this week; tardies will officially begin next week. We are off to a great start, Wranglers! Thank you for trusting us with your children and for your continued support as we begin an amazing school year together. With Wrangler Pride, Kelsey Glover Principal, Edna Elementary School The Wrangler Way: Believe. Grow. Achieve. 💙

Happy 4th of July from Edna ISD! 🎆 We are incredibly proud to celebrate the historic 250th Anniversary of the United States of America today. Wishing our entire Cowboy community a safe and spectacular Independence Day! 🐎
