East Hill Weekly Update

 

Spirit Week

Next week is Spirit Week! East Hill third graders wrote persuasive letters and voted on daily themes that inspired this districtwide event. The flier pictured below shows what students should wear each day. We will also remind the students on the daily announcements. Thank you to our third graders for the ideas!

Fun Hunt Winners

Thank you to the PTA for sponsoring this great activity for our students! There were over 80 entries in the Spring Break Fun Hunt. Each participant received a coupon for a free ice cream cone from Charlee's Ice Cream, and there were three grand prize winners. Blake, in first grade, won the Lego set. Eve, in second grade, won the American Girl Doll, and Joey, in 4th grade, won the free session to the Syracuse Warrior Factory. Thanks to the PTA, thanks to Charlee's Ice Cream, and congratulations to our participants!

Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence

This week we are focusing on the character strength of Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence. This means that you notice and value the world's beauty and people's skills. You don't take things for granted.  Appreciating excellence and beauty helps an individual experience positive emotions and connect to the world around him/her. For more about this character strength, click here. 

Ramadan Mubarak! 
Happy Ramadan!  This year Ramadan began on the evening of Tuesday, April 13 and will end the evening of Wednesday, May 12. Ramadan concludes with Eid Al-Fitr, the “Festival of Breaking the Fast.”  To gain a better understanding about Ramadan and what it means to our Muslim community members, here is an essay written by West Genesee High School senior, Sereen Awawda. Thank you, Sereen, and Ramadan Mubarak!

Earth Day

If you ordered an Earth Day shirt to be delivered to East Hill, they are supposed to be here by Wednesday. We will send them home with the students that day. Please remind your child to wear their shirt on Thursday! Here are some pictures of Earth Day activities made by some of our second and third graders. 

Enjoy the week!
