A Busy Week Ahead

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable Mother's Day weekend. It's hard to believe that we are already half-way through May. We have a busy week ahead of us so please mark your calendars!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, May 16, is the annual budget vote at the High School. Polls will be open from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Please try to get out and exercise your right to vote.

Wednesday, May 17 is East Hill's 4th and 5th grade spring concert. We will have an assembly during the day for the students and an evening performance, at 7:00 p.m., at the High School.

Thursday, May 18 is East Hill's Open House. The event runs from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. This is an evening to bring the children; let them show you around their school. Let them tell you about and show you their projects, their writing, and their art work. It is always a special night. The PTA will also be holding their family BOGO Book Fair Night from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m.

We will be running two shuttle buses throughout the evening from the high school parking lot to East Hill. These buses will begin running at 5:45 and the last shuttle will leave East Hill at 7:05. Please park in the lot between the high school and Applebees. Buses will be waiting at the curb. The children especially enjoy taking their family for a ride on the school bus. There will be very limited parking at East Hill.

Also on Thursday several of our classes will be attending the Special Olympics to cheer on their classmates. It's looking to be a very hot day so please make sure you send your child with plenty of water and apply sunscreen to them prior to getting to school. It is one of my favorite events of the year. 

Here are some other dates to get on your calendars:

5/29    No School, Memorial Day

6/1      Lemonade Serenade Volunteer Reception and PTA Meeting

6/14    Flag Day Parade and Celebration

6/15    Field Days (rain date 6/16)

6/21    Half Day, 11:30 dismissal

6/22    5th Grade Recognition, 9:30; Half Day, 11:30 dismissal

As a reminder, there is no supervision at school for students before 9:00 so please do not drop your children off before 9:00. The one exception is if they are having breakfast, in which case they can enter the building at 8:50. Additionally, at the end of the day, please do not arrive before 3:10 to pick up your children. Thank you for your cooperation.

Have a great week!
