ESON October Meeting Recap

It Begins With Us

We officially opened the year with our first Elementary Schools OST Network (ESON) meeting, centered on the theme “It Begins with Us.” This gathering brought together elementary OST providers from across Cambridge to strengthen our community and reaffirm our shared purpose of supporting young people through every stage of their growth and journey.

Together, we focused on cultivating a welcoming and collaborative space where providers can connect, share insights, and align on how best to meet the needs of elementary aged youth. By grounding our work in community and collective responsibility, we began shaping a network rooted in partnership, care, and a shared commitment to helping children thrive both in and out of school.

We are excited to keep the momentum going and continue this important work at our next ESON Network meeting on November 5th.

Here's what's coming up:
​
During the November ESON Network Meeting, we will focus on exploring what it truly means to serve Cambridge families. Bring your thoughts and reflections, big or small, about what a Cambridge family means to you. Together, we will share perspectives and deepen our understanding of the communities we serve, building a network that is rooted in connection, guided by purpose, and committed to making a meaningful difference.
