It looks like spring has finally sprung! While all of the spring flowers have not yet bloomed, we do have an impressive display of blue flowers, actually pinwheels, outside of East Hill. Each student in the building, currently 375, "planted" a pinwheel in front of East Hill to support Child Abuse Prevention Month, sponsored by the McMahon/Ryan Advocacy Center. The pinwheels represent a happy and healthy childhood. #GoBlue4Kids!
As you may recall, our fifth grade Student Council collected money to purchase fleece to make blankets for an organization called Project Linus that distributes blankets to critically ill children. After school yesterday about half of the fifth grade class, along with several volunteers, worked together to make 35 no-sew blankets to benefit this worthwhile cause. It was so nice to see these students collaborating on this project. They had a great time and were able to feel good about helping others in need.
As a reminder, Dr. Gleason will be here tonight to discuss students who worry. The presentation will be held in the library from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m.
Don't forget that there is no school this Friday, April 14. Students will return after spring break on Monday, April 24.
This week's words of the day are habitat (M), saliva (T), prehistoric (W), and opposition (Th).
Have a great rest of the week and a nice spring break!
