Happy Holidays from East Hill!

Positivity Project
This week we have been trying to focus on self-control, something many of us, myself included, especially struggle with at this time of year! Self-control means you have the ability to control your emotions and behaviors. You think before you act.  People with this strength are more disciplined and have the ability to wait and think through things before acting. To read more about this strength, click here.

Spirit Week
We have had a lot of fun at East Hill showing our spirit this week! On Monday, all students in grades 3-5 went to the Dome to watch the women's basketball game. Students had a great time!


Tuesday was, "Deck Your Neck (and above)" day. Students wore all sorts of necklaces, scarves, headbands, and hats. We also held our December P2 Assembly where Miss O'Keefe reviewed the strengths on which we have focused so far this year, game-show style.



Wednesday was Blue and Gold Day. Everywhere we looked our wildcat pride was showing!
Thursday was "Festive Wear" day. The 5th Grade orchestra "caroled" during lunch which was a nice treat and the day was capped off with our holiday parties!



Today is Pajama Day. We are also holding an "In-School Snow Day" which has been a lot of fun so far! Students get to choose two different activities in which to participate, including coding, caroling, games and puzzles, storytelling, arts and crafts, and movie viewing (with popcorn, of course).




I hope you all have a wonderful holiday break with your family. See you next year!
