EHES Families, please remember that school will be closed from November 25-29 for Thanksgiving Break. We wish you all a joyful and restful holiday with your loved ones. Enjoy this special time together, and we look forward to seeing everyone back in December, ready to finish the semester strong!

Let’s keep up the energy and Eagle pride as we make these last few days count before Thanksgiving break. Go Eagles, let’s rise and shine together! Eagle Up!

Thank you for your continued support, and have a wonderful week!

Proud Principal of Eastwood Heights,

Parents, our Game On Attendance Matters game is back. Students will have an opportunity to be in a drawing each target week to win a bike or an electric scooter for their Attendance!

• Drawing will take place after the target weeks.

• Two ways to win:

• First Drawing - Ten students per campus with the highest points will be entered.

• Second Drawing- Anyone present on the last day of the target week will be entered

Unit 3: Inclusiveness lessons will begin the week of Nov.11th- the week of Dec.9th.

Upcoming events:

• KiC school-wide Project 2: Thanksgiving Basket Drive due November 18th
• Extraordinary Eagle: Will be held on November 22nd. This event is dedicated to students who display exemplary characteristics of “Caring". Classroom teachers nominate only one student per classroom. This event is by special invitation only.

This year, EHES is partnering with EHS in efforts to donate Thanksgiving baskets to families in need. Eastwood High School donates completed baskets to families in need. To help them in this endeavor please donate one or more of the following items listed. *We are not asking for completed baskets. Donating any of the following items is appreciated. Items are due by November 18th. You may turn in all items to the front office to give to Mrs. Serrano, School Counselor or send with your child's teacher.

Our school is organizing a special initiative to make the holiday season brighter for those in need. We are reaching out to our compassionate community to join us in spreading the joy of Christmas by participating in the EHES Tree of Joy.

Our goal is to provide all nominated students with a gift. Please help us reach this goal by adopting an Eagle in need and give them a Christmas gift ($20-$30 price range for each child.) The community can start getting the student tag cards that have student gift information on the Tree of Joy starting on Friday, November 21st- December 6th. The EHES Tree of Joy is scheduled to be set up next week and will be located by the front office. Please be sure to sign out which student tag number you select in the binder that is located in the front office. All gifts must be wrapped up or in a gift bag and turned into Mrs. Serrano by December 9th. Please write the student tag # on the gifts, so I know who the gift is for.

I understand that this is a busy time of year, and your commitment to our students is already greatly appreciated. However, I believe that by coming together as a community, we can make a significant impact and create lasting memories for those in need. Thank you for all of your support!
