Notes from East Hill Elementary

This page provides thoughts and commentary from Rob Leo, the Interim Principal of East Hill Elementary School in the West Genesee Central School District.

Hello East Hill Families!

It's wonderful to be back at East Hill Elementary! I'm filling in for Mrs. Meskos for the next week or so, and it's been such a joy reconnecting with our amazing students and seeing so many familiar faces.

It has been fantastic to see so many parents and caregivers participating in our annual PARP (Pick a Reading Partner) Celebration! The energy and enthusiasm are contagious and our students thoroughly enjoy listening to the stories that are being shared.

A quick reminder that Picture Day is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15th (details below). Don't forget to send your child to school with their picture-perfect smiles! And mark your calendars for our annual Pumpkin Walk on Thursday, October 17th, from 5:00 - 6:30 PM. It's always a fun-filled evening for the whole family.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Rob

CEP allows eligible schools participating in the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs to offer school meals at no charge to all students.
