Lubbock-Cooper District Tract Meet at Pirate Stadium
We had another eventful week of learning and growing at East Elementary last week. Our campus hosted our first annual Battle of the Books, BOB competition on Monday. We had fourteen teams competing. The top four teams moved on to compete at the District Competition that was held Friday at the Lubbock-Cooper Administration Office. Our teams represented our campus well and the East Book Fries won 2nd place. Students in Kindergarten were learning about graphing and celebrated Dr. Seuss' birthday on Friday. First graders had chicks hatching and continued working on measuring with non-standard units. Fourth graders participated in Measurement Madness to review for their Unit Assessment. Fifth graders learned about the creation of the National Anthem, originally a poem that was written by Francis Scott Key. We also had a fantastic turnout at our East February Family Night!
East students may eat breakfast free of charge each day. Students arriving between 7:15-7:45 a.m. will be served a hot breakfast in the cafeteria. Students arriving after 7:45 a.m. will receive a breakfast bag that contains a nutritious breakfast "to go". Students may only eat one school breakfast daily that it is free of charge.
The East Unified Committee will be hosting a t-shirt fundraiser through March 8th, 2024.
"Unified East - Spread the Word: Inclusion" t-shirts will only be $20.00.
Lubbock-Cooper East Elementary is now a Unified Champion School! This program is aimed at promoting social inclusion through intentionally planned and implemented activities affecting systems-wide change in K-12 schools. With sports as the foundation, it also offers a unique combination of effective activities that equip young people with tools and training to create sports, classroom, and school climates of acceptance.

We are happy to announce that there is a new digital reading app available for you and your child. Sora is a wonderful platform that is accessible to all students both at school and at home. Just follow the steps listed and begin your reading journey!! If you are not sure of your child's login password (lunch number), you can find it under 'Student Info' in Skyward. Parents/guardians should help students select books for their particular age group just as they would in a bookstore or public library. Please reach out to Terri Vaughn at tvaughn@lcisd.net if you have any questions.
The Lubbock-Cooper Education Foundation and First United Bank are pleased to present Aaron Watson on April 11 at Cook's Garage! Serving as the Foundation's premier fundraising event, this annual spring concert has raised more than $1 million to date for Lubbock-Cooper students and teachers! We hope you'll join us - tickets are available now!
This month, we’re focusing on kindness. As a campus, we will be intentional with celebrating through "Good Things" and providing affirmations. As a family, find opportunities to focus on the positive and affirm each other! We are better together!
The newsletters attached below provide several ideas and conversation starters to use as a family this month.
We are excited to begin our partnership with Watch DOGS for the 2023-2024 school year!
I have attached the registration form below. If you are interested in volunteering as a hallway superhero, please complete the registration form and email it to Joshua Fields, who serves as our East Elementary Watch DOGS Coordinator. Mr. Fields can be reached by email at CooperEastWatchdogs@gmail.com.
Mr. Fields works with our volunteer father-figures to develop a schedule where dads volunteer on campus. They typically give a full-day of their time to work in classrooms, patrol our building, and supervise lunch and recess. Mr. Fields builds each schedule individually, giving each father time in class with their own child and serving in a variety of opportunities around the campus.
We are excited to launch our East Elementary Google Site, sharing information about our campus. Please check out this wealth of information about our staff family, video highlights of work taking place at East, and news about campus initiatives.
