It's been a busy couple of weeks here at East Hill! We concluded our two week Pick a Reading Partner (PARP) Celebration, Wild About Reading, with a visit from author Cynthia DeFelice. We combined her presentation with our monthly Positivity Project Assembly. She spoke about how she uses her strength of creativity as she writes books. It fit in perfectly with what the students have been learning about in school. Thank you again to the PTA for sponsoring the author, bringing in guest readers, and providing PARPsicles for the celebration.

Mrs. Butkowski's and Mrs. Bush's class also had a visit from the Fairmount Fire Department as part of Fire Prevention Week. Thank you to Mr. O'Neal and his partner for taking the time to discuss fire safety, show the students the different features of the fire engine, and handing out fire hats!
