Happening at East Hill

It's hard to believe we are already half-way through the school year! Thursday is February already! As this week's character strength is prudence, I thought it would be prudent of me to update you on things happening this coming month as well as things happening this past week. If you want to learn more about the character strength of prudence, click here to read the character card from the people at the Positivity Project. Our learning target is I can plan for the future and achieve my goals by making careful everyday choices. Please share with your children how you show prudence at home.

On Monday Miss O'Keefe led our January Positivity Project assembly which highlighted the character strengths of Perseverance and Hope/Optimism. We had two student speakers, one via video, that highlighted how they have had to persevere despite obstacles. They were very inspiring; bravery must also be one of their top strengths!

This Saturday will be the PTA's annual Enrichment Day. It is a great morning for all of the students thanks to all of the generous volunteers that donate their time and talents. Please bring your child to the lobby no earlier than 9:00 a.m. and sign him/her out of the second session classroom at 11:30 a.m.  Speaking of PTA, our next meeting will be held in the East Hill Library on Monday, 2/12 at 6:30 p.m.

Our fourth and fifth graders will be going to see a preview of the WGHS musical, Anything Goes! next Wednesday. Look for a permission slip to be coming home with your student. This is a great experience for our students and good practice for the performers.

School will be closed for winter break beginning 2/19/18. School will resume on Monday, 2/26.

Have a great week!
