This week we return to the next Other People Matter Mindset element - cheering others success. The purpose of the Other People Matter Mindset weeks is to consistently remind students why they're learning to see these character strengths in themselves and others - to build positive relationships. There will be many opportunities to cheer on the success of others at East Hill this month, including the Education Fair, the 3rd Grade Chorus Concert, our 5th Grade Chorus singing the National Anthem at Friday's Syracuse Crunch game, and BINGO!
The Education Fair is just two weeks away! This year's fair promises to be the biggest yet with 122 students participating, completing 50 science projects and 33 reading projects. Completed projects can be dropped off after school on Monday, 3/18 from 3:30 to 5:00, or on Tuesday, 3/19 from 7:30 - 8:30 am. Students will be able to view them during the day and families are invited to attend in the evening from 6:30 - 7:30. It should be a great evening!
3rd Grade Concert
Our third graders have been busy preparing for their spring concert. It will be held in the East Hill Gymnasium on 3/28 at 7:00. Students should arrive at 6:40.
BINGO!
Bingo will be held on Friday, 3/29 in the East Hill Gym. Doors open at 6:00 with Bingo beginning at 6:30. Bingo is free to play. Pizza, baked goods, and raffle tickets are $1.00 each. Raffle prizes include an American Girl Doll, Disneyworld Park Hopper passes, Lego Land tickets, Darien Lake passes, Syracuse Mets tickets, Wonderworks, 5 Wits, Sky Zone passes, and so much more. It should be a lot of fun!
100th Day of School
Last Thursday we celebrated the 100th day of school. Teachers and students alike dressed like they were 100 years old and students wrote what they would do when they turn 100.
The ordering deadline for this year's yearbook has been extended through March 22nd. You may still send the form and check to your child's teacher or go to www.ybpay.lifetouch.com, and search for our code under Camillus, then East Hill. The yearbook committee is also adding a new section to this year's book and looking for a few more photos from last year's Flag Day ceremony and Field Days. Please email a few photos of students to EastHillBook2019@gmail.com. Thank you!
Student Council
Student Council's community service project is off and running! They are accepting donations of wrapped paper towels as well as financial donations for the Francis House. The project runs until Friday, 3/22. Thank you for your support.
Two rings were found in a pair of snowpants. One is what appears to be a Skaneateles school ring from 2003 and the other is a United States Marines ring. Please call the office at 487-4648 if you know to whom these rings belong.
