ESUMS PTO Policy on Student Travel Grants

ESUMS students frequently excel in academic competitions and earn the opportunity to travel to national-level competitions.  We have sent students in the past to national history, poetry, digital media, mathematics, science, and engineering competitions, and they frequently win awards even at the national level.

It is the PTO's policy to provide $150 travel reimbursement for national competitions per student per year while funds last.

ESUMS School Play Review from Malay USA

Truly amazing performances by members of ESUMS Drama Club. It was held at the University of New Haven Bucknall Theatre on June 2nd and June 3rd.

A few words or a simple sentence will not be sufficient to describe the incredibly mesmering performance by these young students. You really need to be there!

And you were there, you would've been so captivated by the show, that you didn't even realized that it was two hour long by the time it ended. It was so funny you would've laughed so hard, we all did! We are still talking about it even two days after the show.

ESUMS News at Malay USA

We'd like to direct your attention to a facebook page that does a great job of covering news about ESUMS: Malay USA.  The following is a sample article about our math team competitors.  We wish Hizami and Prastik all the best in this tough competition!

New Haven, Friday June 3, 2016: Hizami Anuar, Prastik Mohanraj and David Metrick are among the 45 Connecticut high school students who will be representing the Connecticut Association of Mathematics League (CSAML) at the 41st annual American Regions Mathematics League (ARML 2016), also known as "World Series of Mathematics Competitions" at Penn State University.

Field Day is Thursday!

It looks like the sun will shine at ESUMS Field Day at UNH on Thursday, June 2.

Parent volunteers are needed to set up, clean up, fill water jugs, fetch lunches, and hand out snacks any time between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.   Please note that this year, we will be on the main UNH campus, Kayo field (see map below, click for close-up), and the PTO will set up in the parking lot of the Arbeiter Maenner Chor.  Parking should be unrestricted.

Donations of snacks and cups for water are also needed and can be dropped off in the office on Wednesday or even early Thursday morning.  We could also use a volunteer to drive the water jugs from the school to UNH.


Please come out and volunteer; it's always a good event and a lot of fun!
