Esko Community Education

Did you know that we have a leadership and service learning program for students in grades 5-7?

Esko Leads is a group that strives to inspire and educate teens to discover the leader within themselves. In this group, students will work together to find out who they are and what they can achieve, now and in the future. Our priority as a group is to work with local citizens and organizations to benefit our schools, homes and communities through service learning.

Some projects we worked on in 2024-25:

• We spread kindness and happiness around school with inspirational chalk messages. 
• We helped carve pumpkins and set up the jack-o-lantern walk in the school forest. 
• We held a food drive for the Cloquet salvation army.
• We raised donations for area public health nurses and provided them formula to share within their communities.  
• We helped to organize and host the Esko Winterfest Fest.
• We made tie-blankets to share with area animal rescue organizations. 
• We shared our appreciation for our teachers by decorating the lounges. 

*Please note new time. Esko Leads will end at 3:30 PM for the 25-26 school year.

Price includes a gratitude journal and Esko Leads t-shirt, designed by the group!  

Registration will close 9/16/25 at noon.
