THE EVERGREEN EXPRESS

EVERGREEN ELEMENTARY-FAMILY CONNECTION

Oct. 6, 2024

Greetings Evergreen Families,

I am super excited to share that for the month of September together Evergreen students met the MSDE Attendance target of 94%. Please reference the Attendance Chart below by grade level. Let's keep it up for the month of October. Our goal is for all children to be in school consistently and not miss more than 18 days of school (10%) out of our 180 day school year, which gets classified under excessive absences.

Is your 4th or 5th grade student interested in being in the cast for the spring musical, , THE LITTLE MERMAID JR.? If so, please fill out the Audition Application Google Form by Friday, Oct. 11. Auditions are Monday, October 21 and Tuesday, October 22 after school. You choose which day will work best for you. Once we receive the completed form, your student will be added to the Spring Musical Schoology Course where you can find the audition materials. We're excited to offer another fabulous show this year! Any questions, please contact Mrs. Gass.

Be sure to read the updated information below from our PTO. There will not be an edition of THE EVERGREEN EXPRESS sent out on Oct. 13th.

Warm Regards,

Principal Fowler

PTO UPDATES:

**The PTO has partnered with the EES MTSS Team and Principal Fowler to get the Paws Cart up and running so students can redeem those Paws they’ve been working hard to earn. They would love the cart to have a wide assortment of items for students to choose from or work towards earning if they want to save up their Paws. If you are looking for a fun and easy way to donate or be involved, please consider donating items for the cart! We’ve made a wish list of items suggested by EES! Please email president@evergreenpto.org with any questions, thank you!
