Compassion and Caring are the character education traits for the month of December. East Hill students and families have shown compassion and caring in many ways these past couple of weeks. Thank you to everyone who took a tag off of the Community Giving Tree and purchased a gift for a family in need. Thank you also to those of you who are helping to fill the Salvation Army barrels.
Earlier this week the Camillus Elk's Lodge brought our third graders dictionaries. This is just one of the ways our local Elks demonstrate compassion and caring for our community.

This morning the fifth grade class taught the school about compassion and caring. They acted out the story, "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein and talked about different ways they show compassion and caring as both safety patrol officers and peer partners.

This past Monday our fourth and fifth graders put on a fantastic concert for the school during the day, and for their families at night. I think this winter concert was one of the best I've ever heard.
