Exciting changes are happening at East Hill! As many of you have seen, the playground was taken down in December. The new one will be up in the spring. The gazebo has also been removed as well as a couple of large trees.The gazebo and trees were removed to make room for the new library and new classroom. A storage trailer has been placed at the rear of the faculty parking lot to store items during the capital project renovation. If things go as planned, and they have thus far, we should have a new library by the time school starts next fall and should be able to use the new cafeteria by November!
Changes are happening inside the building as well, most of which we can't see. Workers are completing electrical, heating, air conditioning and plumbing work in the basement during the day. Because work will soon begin on the new classroom and new library, Mrs. Wangsness' classroom will move to the computer lab this week. All of the computers were moved to the library over the holiday break where Mrs. Holzwarth is putting them to good use. It's hard to believe it's finally happening!
As a reminder, the PTA meeting has been moved to tomorrow night, Wednesday, January 13, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. in the WGHS LGI. Immediately following the meeting, Dr. Brown will have his annual, "Dialogue with the Superintendent" at 7:00. This is a great opportunity to hear from Dr. Brown and ask him questions about the state of the district.
As I mentioned in my blog last week, students in grades 2-5 are invited to take part in the vocabulary parade that will take place the first week in February. Students were given information about the parade to take home. They were asked to pick a partner, choose three possible words, and hand in their application by tomorrow. Please encourage your child to do this, it should be a lot of fun!
