Gratitude

The Positivity Project

Although the text I sent out yesterday said that we are learning about bravery this week, we are actually learning about the character strength of gratitude both this week and next week. Bravery was last week. Oops! Gratitude means you are aware of and thankful for good things that happen. To learn more about gratitude, click here.

Spelling Bee
Last week five fifth grade students represented East Hill in the District Spelling Bee. Congratulations to Isabella Dickson, Amara Choe, Dante Santiago, Anthony Reed, and Evan Lentz. We are proud of you!

Reminders from the PTA

Don’t forget to collect and save those Box Tops while shopping and cooking this holiday season for our annual box top collection held in March. The Box Tops for Education program helps earn money for East Hill PTA. Spirit Wear orders must be placed by Wednesday, 11/23 at 3:00 p.m. Also, you should have received a letter about Community Giving this week. If you are in need of additional assistance at the holidays this year, please contact Mrs. Craig today if possible. We would love to help you out. All information is kept confidential.

Square 1 Art
Just a reminder - If you are planning on ordering any of your child's artwork from this fundraiser, orders are due on November 20th. Proceeds from this fundraiser will be used to buy display boards for Open House.
