We've had a great start to the 16-17 school year here at East Hill! The students and staff returned to a newly renovated building. We have a brand new beautiful library, a new kindergarten classroom, new bathrooms, new cabinetry, and a new lobby. Work will begin shortly on our new cafeteria which should be ready by November. If you are able to attend tonight's Ice Cream Social you will be able to see all of these exciting changes! The Ice Cream Social will take place from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. I hope you can join us!

East Hill's PTA
A big thank you to our PTA for hosting tonight's event, as well as coordinating last week's kindergarten orientation. If you are not a member of the PTA, please consider joining. They are always looking for more volunteers to help out at the many functions that they plan for our students. The first PTA meeting will be held on Monday, September 19th at 6:30 in our new library.
