Eagle Crest Family Newsletter

Dear Eagle Crest Families,

As we approach the end of another memorable year, it's a time for celebration and reflection on the traditions that bind us together. Today marked the culmination of our school-wide field day, an event meticulously planned and executed by our fifth-grade students. This annual tradition not only fosters a sense of camaraderie but also allows our students to showcase their burgeoning leadership skills while giving back to our cherished community.

Tomorrow, we eagerly anticipate our final student-led assemblies of the academic year. Spearheaded by our dedicated communications team, made up of student leaders under the guidance of Katy Schwirtz, these assemblies serve as shining examples of leadership in action.

In addition to our internal celebrations, we are honored to host the graduating class of Silver Creek High School as they proudly wear their graduation regalia and march through our halls Friday. Their achievements symbolize the culmination of years of dedication and hard work, and we are privileged to stand alongside them as they embark on the next chapter of their academic journey. Their success serves as an inspiration to our students and helps our youngest learners begin to envision their academic futures.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Amanda

We currently have over 150 books still checked out to students. That is a lot of books that need to be turned in by Monday, May 20th. Notices have been sent home. If you have received a notice, please help your students find their library books and bring them back to school. Books have been found under beds, in cars, behind sofas and sometimes even mixed in with their own books! If your student is working on a project for school and needs the book a bit longer, they may keep their books until the project is turned in.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Beckett at beckett_joan@svvsd.org or at (303) 485-6073 ext. 22313.

Thank you for your help in getting books back to the library before summer break.

Librarians from the Longmont Public Library visited Eagle Crest this week. Students learned about all the fun activities going on at the library this summer and even received their Summer Reading Program Bingo Card. The bingo board went home with your students earlier this week. For more information about the storytimes, Legos, crafts and so much more, check out the Longmont Public Library Summer Programs 2024

So head to the public library this summer, grab some books and read all summer long!
