Education Fair a Huge Success!

Education Fair
Thank you so much to all of the families who were able to come out to our Education Fair last night. We had such a great turnout! I was so impressed with the reading and science projects that students completed. We certainly have a lot of young talent in this building! Students were also able to play math games in the classrooms with their families. Hopefully everyone learned something!





Physical Education
Physical education class has certainly changed from when I took it a few (well, maybe more than a few) years ago. Our physical education teachers, Ms. O’Keefe and Ms. Volz, have to be very flexible as we are always borrowing the gym and having them re-locate. During the Education Fair physical education was held in the art room where students played nutrition BINGO.  In the first picture below you will see students learning how to cast outdoors (ice fishing?) The last picture shows a student who has caught a fish in the gymnasium. We are fortunate to have such flexible and creative staff members!

Pennies for Patients
This Friday concludes Student Council’s three week-long project where they are raising funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As of last Friday our school has collected over $1500.00! There is, of course, a prize for the class that collects the most money. Currently, Mrs. Deegan’s class is in first place. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this worthwhile cause.

Spirit Week
We have two days left to show our spirit this week. Tomorrow (Thursday), is crazy/bad hair day, and Friday is orange and denim day, as orange is the color that represents leukemia.


Spring Break
Spring break begins on Friday, April 3rd. Students return to school on Monday, April 13th.

Have a great rest of the week. Thanks for all that you do to support our efforts here at East Hill.
