Happy Belated Memorial Day!

What a great weekend we had to celebrate Memorial Day! One of our 5th graders was a winner of the annual Memorial Day essay contest sponsored by the Camillus Memorial Day Parade Committee.  This year’s theme was A Legacy of Honor. Michael Ciciarelli’s essay was chosen as one of the winners and he got to read his essay at the parade pavilion at the conclusion of the parade. Congratulations Michael!

If you went to the parade, you were able to see 35 East Hill runners participate in the Memorial Day 5K run. Molly O’Keefe, East Hill’s wonderful physical education teacher, has been running East Hill’s running club for the past several weeks in preparation of the 5K run. As you can see in the pictures below, everyone had a great time!


The 4th and 5th grade concert held last Monday night at the high school was fantastic as was the afternoon performance held at the school. The afternoon performance was combined with the monthly character education assembly. May’s character education traits were kindness and courtesy. Students were taught that in order to be a kind and courteous audience they needed to listen, stay seated, clap at the end of the song, save cheering and shouting for athletic events, and tell the performers what a great job they did at the conclusion of the performance.
The math words for the week are pint (T), quart (W), gallon (Th), and milliliter (F).

I will be having another procedure on my hip next week so Heather Silvia, an administrative intern in our district, will be in to help make sure things run smoothly. I will continue to be just an email away, but please feel free to contact Ms. Silvia with any questions or concerns.

Have a great rest of the week!
