Hello All,It's been another fabulous week here at school, and there are lots of new pictures under the "Eagle News" and "Work/Friends" tabs. There are too many current and upcmoing events to mention them all, but here are a few. We had a school wide chapel, where Russ King did a fantastic job bringing us God's word. It is so wonderful when the entire student body can gather to worship and sing praises to our God! John Luke Campbell and Carson Hollis read scripture and led us in prayer. Tonight, at 6:00 p.m., we have our 1st-3rd grade music performance. Sunday, November 6th, we have open house for prospective families from 2-4 p.m.!
Here are some highlights from this past week, as well as some important upcoming dates and information:
**Report Cards will be e-mailed out this Friday, (November 4th), at 3 p.m.**Friday, November 4th, we will have an all-school Veteran's Day writing activity. Our entire campus will be taking time to write letters to those who have served our country. We will thank the military men and women who have served our country in the past, as well as those who are presently serving for our freedom. To those who have served our country this way, we are grateful for all that you have done and may still be doing! Thank you! Also, on Friday, we will have a guest speaker, along with several soldiers, who will talk to our students about being in the military. It will be a special day and a special experience for our students.
**Our Box Top total was 11,737! We flew past our goal of 6,000 and headed straight for 20,000! Since our students did an incredible job bringing in those box tops, they get to wear "crazy hats" on Friday (Nov. 4th)! We are so proud of everyone's effort, and we ask that it continues as we strive for a bigger goal on February 28th!
**Monday, November 7th, there will be NO SCHOOL and NO EXTENDED CARE for our students. This is a teacher in-service day.**Wednesday, November 9th, because of their excellent behavior in the cafeteria during the last six weeks, students get to wear "crazy socks"!In order to earn another dress-up day, students know they need to demonstrate even better behavior this six weeks! Let's keep encouraging our students to show good conduct at lunch time!
**Next Saturday, November 12th, we will have our annual Fall Festival at EHCS! This is a huge fundraising event that is lots of fun. In order for it to be successful, we need your help! If you can help with your child's classroom game, please let your child's classroom mom know as soon as possible!
**This week, on the blog, you will find TWO new links which are very important for reference points. Kristy Pomeroy, our guidance counselor, has a spot here where you will find lots of useful information about seminars and even information about our new partnership with AGAPE. Please click on the Guidance Corner to find out more. The other link will highlight important policies from the handbook that, as of lately, are being addressed more frequently. Some of these include tardies, absences, and dress code violations. Students NEED a NOTE when absent. Please click Policy Reminders to find out exactly what our policies are on certain situations.
This past week, we had several field trips and activities taking place on campus. Third grade went to Edwin Warner Park, second grade went to Walden Farms, fourth grade challenged themselves with a new science experiment, and all of our students attended the pep rally for "Spirit Night" at Chick-Fil-A! On Monday, many students showed their holiday side by wearing Halloween shirts. Check out some pictures under the "Work/Friends" tab! You will also find pictures of all these activities under the "Eagle News" tab! Be sure to check out the pictures of our students learning and participating in exciting activities!
Lastly, I wanted to re-copy my thank you note from last Friday. I feel like I can't thank you all enough for your continued support for EHCS...
I personally cannot say thank you enough! Last week our school had a huge turnout at Chick-Fil-A and the elementary played a big part in the event! Your school spirit, your love for the school, and your wanting to build a sense of family and community has REALLY SHONE THROUGH! I can definitely see how much you all love this school and want to be a part of it. If you didn’t get to attend, no worries, we will have plenty more opportunities! I just really wanted to express my gratitude and appreciation to all the families we have here at Ezell-Harding. Thank you for making the first “Spirit Night” an immeasurable success.
P.S. P.T.O YOU ROCK (and I mean it)!!
