ESP....What we do ...
Work behind the scenes to make our schools run smoothly
Strengthen the safety net for at-risk children
Create strong ties with the community
Promote parent involvement and reach out to multi-cultural communities
Take pride in hard work and a job well done
Demonstrate the importance of people from all different backgrounds working together to help every child succeed
Without us the doors wouldn't open,
The bells wouldn't ring,
Classrooms wouldn't be clean and well maintained,
Special students would miss the one-on-one support,
The phones wouldn't be answered,
The lights wouldn't go on,
The paychecks wouldn't be issued,
Students would go without lunch,
Public schools run because of the work we do
