Attention ALL ESD Guardians
There was a misprint in the newsletter calendar that was emailed yesterday afternoon. School does not dismiss early tomorrow, January 13th. We will dismiss at regular time—3:25pm.
We apologize for the confusion.
The Martha E. Deichler Union County Math Competition will be held at the EHS Auditorium on Saturday, January 21st, beginning at 9:30am.
Casey Gore, a teacher at El Dorado High School, graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor of Science in Education in Nutrition and Family Sciences. She currently teaches Food Safety and Nutrition for 10th - 12th-grade students and coaches cross country and track at Barton and EHS.
Choosing UCA was an easy decision for Ms. Gore. “As soon as I stepped onto campus, it immediately felt like home.” Not only did she love the atmosphere, but UCA was also close enough to her family that she was able to spend weekends with them when time allowed.
A special part of her UCA experience was having the chance to be a Division I athlete. During her four years as a Bear, Ms. Gore ran Cross Country and Track. “It was an amazing opportunity, because I felt like everything I had worked for in high school finally came together. Not to mention, I met some lifelong best friends there!”
Thank you, Ms. Gore, for sharing about UCA! If you are interested in learning more about the University of Central Arkansas, visit https://uca.edu/.

“If you’re always racing to the next moment, what happens to the one you’re in? Slow down and enjoy the moment you’re in and live your life to the fullest.”
― Nanette Mathews
Although we may not be in school over the next two weeks, we know how easy it is to fall into the hustle-and-bustle of the holiday season. We hope you will make the time to "take a break" and enjoy the moment.

It's National Twin Day!
Identical twins Laura and Leslie Palculict are both teachers in the El Dorado School District. Laura (on the left) teaches 2nd grade at Northwest, and Leslie (the right) is a 5th-grade reading teacher at WMS. Up until yesterday, they've shared *almost* everything...now, Leslie is married, and they'll have a different last name! Congrats, Leslie!
Do you have twins in your family? Share your twins in the comments below!
All ESD schools dismissed at 2:25pm, so that means it's officially CHRISTMAS BREAK!
