Weekly Update

 

Dismissal Change

Due to the addition of several runs for the middle school, afternoon dismissal will be roughly 15 minutes later than usual. This means that students will be getting home later than they typically do. If you are picking up your children, please make sure you let the buses through if you are waiting in line as we will not let cars enter until all of the buses have arrived. Thank you!

Spirit Week! 

This week is Spirit Week! Here is the schedule:

Monday: Hat/Sports Day

Tuesday: Beach Day (no bathing suits, please)

Wednesday: Wildcat Wednesday

Thursday: Tie Dye Day

Friday: Pajama Day! 

Here are some pictures from today:

Pizza with the Police

As some of you may have heard, our school resource officer, Officer Macholl, is having a pizza lunch with each of our classes over the next couple of weeks. After lunch he takes the class out to look inside an actual police car and let's them blow the air horn. They are loving it, as you can imagine! Thank you to Office Macholl, and thank you to the PTA for helping to fund the pizza!

Please Obey Traffic Rules!

Speaking of police, I hate being the traffic police. However, I would hate to see someone hurt because of someone else not following the rules. For everyoneś safety, please make sure you follow basic traffic rules when dropping off and picking up your children. I am hearing from several of our neighbors, and seeing this on occasion myself, that people are not coming to a stop at the stop signs, both at the corner of Blackmore and Parsons, as well as the other stop signs on Blackmore.  In addition, people aren't always obeying traffic laws while at the stop sign. As a reminder, when at a 3-way intersection, it is expected that you take turns. Please be patient, and follow the rules, so that everyone stays safe. Thank you!

PTA News

The PTA is holding a fundraiser at Charlee's Ice Cream on May 4th from 4:00 - 8:00 p.m.  Simply say the name "East Hill" when checking out and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to our school. You can dine in, take away, or drive thru! Stay tuned for information on the PTA's virtual Book Fair which takes place May 7th through May 20th, and the East Hill Jogathon which will take place during physical education classes the week of May 17th.  

Purpose

This week we are focusing on the character strength of Connection and Purpose, which means you have beliefs about the meaning of life and your life's purpose. You seek to be part of something greater than yourself. Individuals with this strength might be described as believing, trusting, purposeful, and determined. For more about this character strength, click here. Last week we focused on the character strength Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence. Mrs. Ciciarelli's remote kindergarten class read the book, "Miss Rumphius", and painted lupines using watercolors and blowing through a straw. They came out beautiful! Lyra's and Emerson's are pictured below.

Lyra shows off the book and her beautiful painting. 

Emerson did a great job!
