October
certainly ended on a high note for all of us here at East Hill. We were so
happy that the weather held out for our annual Halloween parade. We had a great turnout! Thank you to everyone
who was able to come out and view the parade, and thank you to the room parents
for putting on such great parties in the classrooms.
Mrs. Tynan had another guest in her
classroom to teach her students about bones last week. Thank you to Mrs. Walsh for coming
in to share her expertise. Mrs. Tynan’s students are going to be experts on the
skeletal system!
The deadline for ordering Spirit Wear
is this Friday (November 7th.) If you want to see how the sizes run, we have plenty of samples
in the main office for you to check out.
Congratulations to the following students who will be representing East Hill in today's District Spelling Bee at Camillus Middle School: Nicolo Benenati, Anita Edgar, Canaan Edwards, Eva Murphy, and Jack Parrott. Good luck!
The PTA needs your help! Do you have a hobby or interest
that you would love to share with our students? If so, East Hill's annual
Enrichment Day is for you! This is a fun morning sponsored by the PTA. It is
designed and taught by volunteers who give their time to help our kids to
explore a wide variety of interests and hobbies. Past classes have included
classes such as No Sew blankets, arts and crafts, jewelry making, karate,
gardening, science fun and scrapbooking. This year they are looking to add even
more awesome classes, so if you can contribute 3 hours on Saturday, January 31st to share a talent or hobby, it would be greatly appreciated! They also need volunteers to assist in each
class, so if that works for you that is helpful as well. This is open to junior
volunteers as well (great opportunity to earn community service hours for
teens!) If you are interested or just need more information, contact Bernadette
Irving at birv89@yahoo.com or 263-8149.
