Spring has Sprung!

Well, spring seems to finally have arrived and that means it’s time for our Spring Open House. I hope you can join us tomorrow (Wednesday) night from 7:00 – 8:00 p.m. The students and the teachers have been working hard and are eager to share with you all of the great things they have been doing and learning. Please remember that shuttle buses will be provided from the Applebees side of the High School parking lot.

Three of our students had artwork selected for the Student Art Exhibit at Baltimore Woods Nature Center during the month of May. In the picture below you can see the puppets created by 4th graders Max Lauricella, Rachael Reynolds, and Allison Sincebaugh. Congratulations to these students!

Traffic continues to be a problem here at East Hill as I have mentioned in previous communications. Please remember that it is against the law to pass a school bus with its red lights flashing, and it is also a state law to yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk. When dropping your children off in the morning, please use the appropriate drop-off spot and do not turn around in the staff parking lot. I appreciate your cooperation in this matter!

The math words for the week are penny (M), nickel (T), dime (W), quarter (Th), and half dollar (F). Speaking of math, several teachers at East Hill worked together on a collegial circle this year and created parent guides for mathematics. These can be found on the website, and also accessed by clicking on the following links: Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 2nd Grade, 3rd Grade, 4th Grade, and 5thGrade. Thank you to Susan Deegan, Courtney Reina, Heather Thome, Colleen Reilly, Ashley Greco, Kathy Barry, Pam Ciarla, and Janet McDonald for putting these great resources together!

Lastly, don’t forget that the budget vote is next Tuesday at the high school from 6:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. We could use one more volunteer to staff the polls from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. Please contact me if you’re interested.


Have a great week!
