WOW!! It seems like forever since I have spoken with you all! I hope you all had a wonderful break with family and friends! It has been an amazing week! We have decorated the Eagles Nest to get in the spirit of the holiday season! The newsletter this week is going to preview lots of events and activities that are coming up over the next two weeks. It is important information, and everyone will want to be informed so no student is left out!This morning, Ron Durchame led us in chapel. He spoke to our students about gifts. He said that we already have the best gift in the world, and that is Jesus! Let us always remember his love, especially during the holiday gift giving season!
Important general information:
Hoodies can be worn to and from school, as well as outdoor school activities such as P.E. However, it has been a school-wide policy that hoodies cannot be worn in the actual classroom. HOWEVER, we have to decided that on Fridays all students will be allowed to wear hoodies to school and in side the classroom(school-wide)!Next week marks the beginning of our annual Food Drive. Our goal is to collect 3,000 cans for the New Heights Community Center. There is a huge need for food at this center, and our school is the only one collecting for this group. There are about 100 families in need. We are challenging each student to bring in at least 10 cans. The class that collects the most cans will get to have a pizza party and watch a movie.
**Santa Sale in the Eagles Nest on Tuesday, December 6th! Lots of new EHCS apparel!
Next Wednesday, December 7th, the students who have already paid $10 for their Make-A-Wish T-shirt will be allowed to wear jeans and their Make-A-Wish shirt. They will be receiving those shirts soon! If you did not purchase this T-shirt then you are to be in your regular school uniform attire. Thank you!
Next Friday, December 9th, our Fine Arts Academy will be putting on The Nutcracker. It will begin at 7 p.m. and the students who are performing need to be here at 6 p.m. Let's all come out and support our students as they perform!
Some things to discuss that are coming up during our half days of school...
**Friday, December 16th will be Polar Express Day! All of our students will be watching the movie and participating in various activities related to the movie. The thing everyone loves is that they get to wear their PAJAMAS!!
**Monday, December 19th will be Christmas Party Day. All students will be having their Christmas party, and they are allowed to wear a Christmas or Holiday T-shirt and jeans! (Our entire elementary will be getting together to sing Christmas carols first thing on Monday morning.)
**Our last half day will be Tuesday, December 20th!
