East Hill PTA
The March PTA meeting will be held tomorrow night (Wednesday) at 6:30
in the East Hill Library. Please come join us to hear about District events and
other activities being planned for our students.
Music in our Schools
March is Music in our Schools month. Our third graders have been
working on preparing for their spring concert which will be held on Tuesday,
March 14 at 7:00 p.m. for third grade families. The rest of our school will get
a preview of the concert that afternoon.
Teacher Workshop Day
Please note that there is no school on Friday, March 17 due to a
teacher workshop day. During this day our teachers will be receiving
professional development on a variety of topics.
Education Fair
The Education Fair is just two weeks away. At this point students
should have completed the majority of their packet and requested a display
board from the main office. Projects will be on display during the day for
students on Tuesday, March 21. Projects will be displayed for families that
evening from 6:30 to 7:30. This is the seventh year we have held this event
(recently changed from the Science Fair to the Education Fair) and it is
shaping up to be the biggest year yet! Completed projects can be dropped off
after school on Monday, March 20 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. or before school on
Tuesday, March 21 from 7:15 – 8:20 a.m.
East Hill Art Exhibit
East Hill student artwork will be on display in the Maxwell Memorial
Library from March 28 through April 6. The
exhibit will feature a variety of artwork from kindergarten through fifth grade
artists.
BINGO!
The PTA’s annual BINGO event will be held at East Hill for the first
time! Now that we have our own cafeteria, we no longer need to use the
facilities at Camillus Middle School. BINGO will be held on Friday, March 31.
Look for more information about this exciting event soon!
A couple of other March events have already occurred. Today we had our fourth CODE assembly of the year with Officer Brand. A letter will be coming home that outlines the topics that were discussed at each grade level. Last Friday our
first graders taught our school about the March character education trait of
the month which is patience and acceptance. They did a nice job explaining how
to appreciate our differences. When they were done presenting, our student
council discussed the community service project that they have started. They
will be collecting money through March 22. At that point we will purchase
fleece to make No-Sew blankets for Project Linus, an organization that provides
blankets for critically ill children. Interested fifth graders will be able to
stay after school one day in April (date TBD) to make the blankets.
This week’s words of the day are fantasy,
immigrant, atmosphere, climate, and witty.
Have a great rest of the week!
