Notes from East Hill Elementary
November 4, 2022
Message from East Hill School Principal
Dear East Hill Families,
We started this week out with our Halloween Parade and classroom celebrations on Monday. It was certainly great to see all of our families celebrate with us as the students paraded outside to showcase their costumes. As you can see below, our students had a great time and enjoyed themselves. Thank you to our PTA and volunteers for making the classroom celebrations so much fun!
We ended our week today with our monthly Positivity Project School Assembly! Our special guests were Officer Losurdo and her K9 named Dome and Detective Tynan. We are focusing on the characteristic of bravery this month and thank them for their bravery!
We look forward to getting back at it next week and working hard on what will be a four-day week with no school on Friday, November 11, as we will recognize and celebrate Veterans Day. We will start out our week on Monday with each grade level attending a fire prevention presentation with firefighters from the Fairmount Fire Department.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Susan Meskos
Positivity Project
Cold Weather Outerwear
The cooler weather is upon us! Please keep in mind that our students will continue to go outside for recess. If the temperature is 20 degrees Fahrenheit or above, recess can take place outside. If the temperature is below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (this includes factoring in the WINDCHILL), recess will be indoors. Students should always have appropriate clothing for the weather: Coat, boots, snow pants, hat, and gloves.
Also, please remember to label your child's cold weather clothing. You will be so glad you did!
PTA-November Meeting
Please note that the November PTA meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 15. Meetings are held at 6:30 pm in the school library. A virtual option can be provided upon request. We hope to see you all there!!
