Busy, Busy, Busy!

It seems like our lives are getting busier and busier. Our teachers just finished getting ready for Open House and have already begun working on their placement lists for next year. Our PTA has begun work on our 5th Grade Recognition Ceremony. There are also a lot of things going on in our community this week. First of all, the East Hill 4^th and 5^th grade concert will be held at the high school tonight at 7:00. I think you will be impressed with each of the three performing groups. Today’s afternoon concert performance at 2:00 will be combined with our monthly character education assembly. This month’s character education trait is kindness and courtesy. Students will learn what that means in terms of being a concert audience.

Tomorrow is the annual school budget. The polls are open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Thank you to the East Hill staff and PTA members who have volunteered to staff the polls tomorrow night.

This week’s math words of the week are dollar (M), tally mark (T), data (W), capacity (Th), and cup (F).

The high school’s Respect and Responsibility club is putting on Community Movie Night this Friday, May 23^rd, at 8:15 in the high school parking lot. It is free to the public. You should bring your own lawn chair or blanket for seating. They will be selling popcorn, soda, juice, and water for 25 cents each.

Thank you for coming to Open House last Wednesday. Many of our teachers reported 100% attendance from their classes and that is just amazing! Thank you for being so supportive!

We had some of our students participate in the Special Olympics last week. Their second grade class came to cheer them on and they all had a great time. We are so proud of them!

Mr. Kesel, our current Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction and previous physics teacher, made his yearly visit to our third grade classes on Friday to teach them and provide demonstrations about force, inertia, and acceleration. The students loved it.

I'm not sure how much more busy we can get! Have a good week!
