Welcome To Enfield
Street Elementary School! Enfield Street School (ESS)
is a great place to learn! ESS’ principal, Sandra
Ingalls, and her outstanding teaching staff will
make you feel welcome! You’ll see how the statement
“A World of Learners” clearly defines what happens
at Enfield Street School.
ESS celebrates our
children, their imagination, their positive choices
and accomplishments, their progress. Students are
aware of the purpose of learning and are more
confident. Having ownership in their school and a
heightened sense of community, students are better
equipped with decision-making skills to meet the
challenges of society.
· The
student body consists of about 375 students,
on average, ranging from Preschool to Sixth Grade,
including Special Education.
· Our
school logo is a cluster of gingko leaves
(see title page) from the gingko tree. The gingko
tree has been in existence for over 150 million
years, survived an ice age and is the oldest living
tree species, earning it the nickname “living
fossil”. Found predominantly in the west where the
climate is warm, the tree sprouts “flowers” during
winter and in the spring these buds unfold into
green leaves, each with a unique pattern. Through
the summer the leaves continue to grow and turn a
deep green until fall when they become gold. The
leaf, therefore, represents characteristics like
strength, adaptability, perseverance and vitality.
These characteristics are those to which we,
teachers, parents, and student body alike, aspire at
Enfield Street School.
· School
colors
are maroon and gray. School spirit merchandise is
available for purchase through the PTO.
· A
new school song, written and created by ESS
students during the 2005-2006 school year, has
replaced our previous school song. Following
tradition, this new arrangement will be sung at
monthly assemblies and other important school
events. The lyrics are as follows:
|
Chorus
Learning and growing,
that's what we're about.
Making good choices, lift your voice to
shout!
That we are learning through the arts,
each and every day.
Honoring our differences, all along the
way…..
|

Verse 1
Living and learning,
we find where we belong.
Working together,
as friends, we sing this song
[chorus] |
Verse 2
Monthly assemblies,
HOT G-team is alive!
We're safe and happy,
we think, create, and strive
[chorus] |
