BINGO!

This past Friday night East Hill’s PTA held their first ever Family BINGO night at CMS. It was a huge success! A big thank you goes out to Mary Kay DeVore and Michelle Hess for coordinating the event, and to everyone else involved in the planning of the event. Thank you to those of you who were able to donate prizes and baked goods as well. Almost everyone walked away with a prize.

Also last Friday we held our character education assembly for the month. Miss Kolis’, Mrs. McDonald’s, and Mrs. Galaska’s 5th graders talked to our school about Citizenship. They presented many ways to be a good citizen, including being a good neighbor and friend, picking up after yourself, and recycling, just to name a few. West Genesee residents will be able to exercise their citizenship rights on May 21st by voting on the school budget. Polls will be open at the high school from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Come hear Dr. Brown present the budget on May 7th at 7:00 p.m. in the high school Large Group Instruction room.

The next two weeks will be busy administering NYS assessments to our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Please make sure your child is present for these tests and is well-rested and well-fed. They are very well-prepared!

I hope to see you at tonight’s PTA meeting which will be held in the East Hill Library at 6:30 p.m. Have a great week!
