Last week was busy here at East Hill. At our faculty meeting, both of our "Tim"s were recognized for twenty-five years of service at West Genesee. Tim Meaney has taught fifth grade for all of those years, seven at Split Rock Elementary and the rest here at East Hill. Tim Groat started out at the high school as a second shift supervisor for 8 years prior to coming to East Hill where he has been our head custodian since 2000. The Tims are both East Hill fixtures and I'm not sure where we would be without them!
Last Wednesday and Thursday the PTA held their annual BOGO Book Fair. The students look forward to this each year. I think every student was able to walk away with at least one book!
Last week was also Staff Appreciation week. The PTA provided a Book Fair Preview breakfast for the whole staff on Wednesday morning which was appreciated by all.
We had a super turnout for our Open House on Thursday night. The art show was a huge hit thanks to our amazing art teacher, Kelly Moser-Vogler.
We ended the week with a delicious luncheon put on by our very generous and thoughtful PTA. We all felt very appreciated (and a bit heavier) last week! Thank you to everyone that contributed to making our staff appreciation week the best ever by coordinating the wellness day, providing and serving the breakfast and luncheon, putting special treats in the faculty room, supervising in the cafeteria and playground, etc. We really appreciated it!
Today is the school budget vote. Polls are open now and will remain open until 9:00 p.m. at the high school. Our 4th and 5th grade spring concert will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) night at the high school at 7:00 p.m., and on Thursday several of our classes will be cheering their classmates on at the Special Olympics.
This week we are learning about the character strength of leadership. Click

Have a great rest of the week!
