EVERGREEN ELEMENTARY-FAMILY CONNECTION
Sept. 22 , 2024
Greetings Evergreen Families,
Welcome Fall!! I want to start out by thanking our PTO team for putting together an outstanding school community event, Book Bingo. We had a little over a 100 family members attend. What a great time. Thank you Ms. Soeder for bringing in the energy and fun as the BINGO caller!!!
One of our Evergreen Alumni who is now a Leonardtown High School Student is asking for
donations of gently used tennis equipment, including rackets, shoes, water bottles, sports
clothing and tennis bags. She is pairing up with Second Serve, a youth-run nonprofit. They
provide under resourced children with tennis equipment to give every child the opportunity to
use sports as a catalyst for change. For more information, please go to their website, Second Serve. A box will be set up near the office to collect your donated items. This will run between
Sept 23rd and Oct 4th . Feel free to drop off donations at the front office or send items with your
student.
We have two events scheduled for Sept. 25th; Picture Day and EES Spirit Night. Double Spirit Night for EES! Panda Express and Cold Stone Creamery will be helping us raise funds for our school community. The Panda Express code can be shared with friends and family around the country for everyone to have an opportunity to help us fundraise! Check out the flyer to make sure the PTO gets the proceeds from your order.
Thank you for reading this information: Addressing Absenteeism from Nurse Ricketts

ATTENTION EES MILITARY PARENTS:
Military Parent Coffee Hour
Wednesday October 2, 2024

Welcome back as we begin another year at Evergreen Elementary School! My name is Ms. Sully, and I am the Military Family Life Counselor here at EES.
Please join us in the Cafeteria next Wednesday morning for our first Military Parent Coffee Hour of the 2024-2025 school year! We will be having a wonderful speaker this month from NAS Patuxent River for networking and discussion:
Dawn Simpson, School Liaison Officer
Fleet and Family Service Center
You will hear from Mrs. Simpson regarding all the resources available to our military families at Fleet and Family Service Center on Base. There is the Exceptional Family Member Program, Ombudsman Support and the Family Advocacy Program, just to name a few. If you are new to the area, this would be a great opportunity to get this important information and network with other EES military families.
We will have coffee, tea and donut holes. Please join us for a great presentation!
