SPIRIT DAY!
The spirit day for this month is Western Day. Please try to help your child dress up in their western clothes such as boots, cowboy hats, bandanas, belts, etc. If they don’t have these kinds of clothes they can show their Eagle Spirit and wear blue and yellow.
2nd grade classes are helping out by popping the popcorn from 7:30 a.m. -9:00 a.m. Please let your child’s teacher know if you can help.
November is almost here and it promises to be a busy and exciting month!
We have quite a few NO SCHOOL days due to a Teacher Work Day, Veteran’s Day, Conferences, and Thanksgiving.
Our month also includes the Book Fair, Cookie Dough Fundraiser, EES Holiday Bazaar, and beginning to pack for our move into the new building.
