Survey Says . . .

Thank you to those of you that were able to complete the East Hill parent survey created by our Shared Decision Making committee. Eighty-six people completed the survey which we felt was a good, representative sampling of our East Hill families. The results of the survey, along with the comments that were submitted, will be used to help guide our future planning. Click here to see the results if you are interested.

As discussed in my last blog before the winter break, East Hill's Vocabulary Parade the first week in February was a huge success. Bonnie Russell, our School Information Officer, put together this short, 3-minute video. Thanks, Bonnie!

Thank you also to all of the room parents and room volunteers for making the Valentine's Day party so much fun for our students. We certainly appreciate it!
It's not too late to order your yearbook. This year we will have our first custom cover with the old playground as the cover.  It will be a real memory book!  Yearbooks are $15.00 for softcover and $20 for hard cover. You can order with an order form or online at 
www.ybpay.lifetouch.com, ID code 10705616. Tonya Wilson, our yearbook editor, is in need of photos for all grades and classes.  If you have photos you would like to share, you are encouraged to do so. Submissions can be sent to 
www.community.lifetouch.comupload code UZMUOR. 

It's also not too late to enter East Hill's annual Education Fair which will take place on Tuesday, March 15th. Our PTA has once again generously offered to purchase the display boards this year. Once students show me that they have a good start on their project, they will be given a display board. Students can do a science experiment or a reading project.

Kindergarten registration has begun! Click here to make an appointment to register. Registration is not taking place at the elementary schools as it has in the past; registration now takes place at the Central Registrar's office located at the District Office. If you know of anyone that has a child that will be registering, please let them know. Thank you.

This week's words of the day are sum (M), abundant (T), hygiene (W), improvise (Th), and grateful (F).

Have a great week!
