Mike Mangione + the Union Concert Review
On February 28, 2015, a band of indie and folk music, Mike Mangione and The Union became one with Sheboygan, Wisconsin, as they performed at Étude Sessions. Mike Mangione and The Union gave a sensational performance that awed all.
Sometimes people forget those in a band are people as well. Most common thought that comes to mind when thinking of band members is “They must be self-centered and rude.” But as Mike Mangione was interviewed, it become more apparent that neither he nor the rest of his band lived up to these stereotypes. Mike Mangione and his brother Thomas created their band after their mother had introduced them into the music realm as an alternative to fighting with their other brother. The band grew into a group of four later on. Mike Mangione said “The Union is a family.” The group showed it in their performance that they were indeed a family by blood or not.
Mike Mangione and Thomas have similar but different tastes in music. “Our difference is what helps us produce music that we enjoy.” Mike Mangione added that “The Band” was one of his bigger inspirations. He hopes to inspire others to express themselves and be creative.

Bounce Into Spring Fundraiser a great success
A big thanks to all of ESAA's parents, staff and students for the success of our Bounce Into Spring Fundraiser on Friday. Together we were able to raise just over $3,700 for our school! These funds will be used for school gardens students will be creating this spring. The gardens will function as learning labs where students will observe, research, and discover to learn more about the outdoor environment.

A look inside Mosaic Social Studies
In social studies, Mosaic students are learning to think like social scientists and function as active citizens. This trimester they will explore human rights in the context of different historical events. To start their exploration, students chose the area of human rights that they were most interested in, and then they were organized into groups based on those interests. The image above depicts students collaborating to develop a driving question and an idea for their trimester-long project. They will spend the rest of the year building from their own inquiry and incorporating class activities to create relevance and interpret meaning.

Transportation guidelines developed for the 2015-16 school year
While our move to the current campus in 2013 has brought many positives, the more remote location has made transportation difficult for many families. Offering busing will help ease our current families ability to get their children to school each day. It will also help reach beyond our current families and make ESAA more accessible to all SASD students. It will enable us to offer ESAA as an school option to those who could not consider it it in the past because of transportation issues. Adding transportation is integral to ESAA’s growth.
