Hello Parents,
This has been a productive year of learning for our students'. Your children's eagerness and willingness to learn is a reflection on the importance you attach on their education. Bill Beattie stated, "The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men." This year we have encouraged our students to be the best people they can be and to take ownership of their decisions. We want them to think for themselves and guide them in the right direction. We have such a special group of students here at EHCS, and as always, I am glad to call them family!
With only two weeks left, we need to go over our last couple of events for the year.
Tonight, our 2nd – 4th graders will be honored at the Elizabeth Brashears Celebrate Literacy Awards Program that is being held at Goodpasture Christian School. The program begins at 5:30 p.m. Again, this is another proud moment for our students, who have worked very hard writing their own stories!
Friday, May 4, is our second play by our Fine Arts Drama Club! The anticipation of seeing Twisted Fairy Tales is killing me! I can't wait to see our talented friends perform! The play will take place at 7:00 p.m. in the high school gym!! PLEASE COME OUT AND SUPPORT MRS. ICE AND ALL OUR STUDENTS WHO HAVE WORKED SO HARD TO PUT THIS PLAY ON!!
MAKE-A-WISH: Next Wednesday, May 9, the family who will be receiving the wish is coming to our school. We have done it! We have raised $7,000 so that we can make a child's wish come true! THE WHOLE SCHOOL IS GOING TO WEAR THEIR MAKE-A-WISH T-SHIRT and JEANS ON MAY 9! It is going to be an awesome experience for our students. They each had a hand in making this happen! Thank you for your support of this service project!
May 10 will be our seventh annual 4th Grade Recorder Concert! The performance will be located in the middle school gym at 6:00 p.m. Our students have been working very hard all year to learn how to play the recorder and earn belt-levels in "Recorder Karate." Please come out and hear how much they have accomplished.
May 11 we will be having our fourth grade send-off party. Mrs. Jones, Miss Clevenger, and I will be providing lunch for our 4th grade friends. It is sad to see them leave for middle school, but I know they are ready for the next phase in their lives.
Half Days on May 14 - May 17. We dismiss at 11:00 a.m.
May 14 - Awards Day at 9:00 a.m.
May 15 - Kindergarten Graduation at 8:30 a.m.
May 17 - Last half-day of school.
