That's a Wrap!

 

That's a Wrap!

Today is my last day as principal of East Hill Elementary. It is bittersweet for sure. I am really going to miss the staff, the students, and all of the great families that I have had the pleasure of getting to know over the last eleven years. I wish you all the best!

The Dogs of Dismissal

Earlier in the year I had planned to put together a short clip including all of the dogs that I met this year at arrival and dismissal. I didn't get enough to put together a video, but here's what I have!

The Class of 2034

Kindergarten screening was conducted over the last two days. What a bunch of precious children East Hill is getting this fall! Kindergarten Orientation will be held on Tuesday, August 24th at 9:00.

Thank you for your support and for sharing your children with me. Have a great summer!

Thank You!

 

Thank You, 4th Grade!

Thank you to the 4th grade parents for the gift of a bench for our school! Thank you to Mr. Hudson for making it and to Mrs. Grady for organizing everything. It came out beautiful! Thank you to all of the parents that were so generous in donating toward the gift. The additional money was given to the PTA.

Thank You, PTA!

Thanks to the PTA for organizing the 4th grade picnic. The PTA brought in the Ultimate Goal to facilitate all sorts of games for the students. They also provided lunch and snacks for our students. Thank you to Mrs. Tully for organizing this great day for our 4th graders and thank you to the parent volunteers! Also, thanks to the PTA for providing popsicles for last week's Flag Day!

The Senior Walk!

 

The Senior Walk!

Every year we look forward to this day, the day when the graduating seniors who attended East Hill come back to visit! They paraded around the front circle and then walked through the building. It's always so much fun! Here are just a few of the many pictures that were taken this morning.

Bells were ringing and the students were clapping

Students cheered as they walked the halls

They looked like giants!

They asked Ms. O'Keefe for toe tokens!

East Hill always remembers Sarah Peek

The whole crew!

Mrs. MacArthur reassembled her 2nd grade class

It's Mrs. Barry's last year too!

'21 and Done!
