Happy February!

Well, as it turns out, Punxsutawney Phil did see his shadow (doesn’t he always?) so we are in for at least six more weeks of winter. Now that we have some snow we can at least do some skiing and sledding.
A huge thank you goes out to the PTA for putting together another wonderful Enrichment Day for 178 of our East Hill students this past Saturday. Thank you to Bernadette Irving and Carrie Grooms for organizing the event, and thank you to all of the volunteers who gave up their time to either teach or help out in one of the classrooms. Students had a great time. Pictured below are just a few of the classes in which students were able to participate.
African Drumming
Catapulting 
Chemistry
No-Sew Blankets
Tie-Dying
Woodworking
Today we will begin our new dismissal procedures. As indicated previously, most of the changes are internal, but it will be important that you are here by 3:15 if you are picking a child up, notes are sent in advance as always, and last minute changes are kept to an absolute minimum. All students will be dismissed promptly at 3:20.

Please remember that February’s PTA meeting will be held tonight in the East Hill Library at 6:30. Hope to see you there!
