Happy Friday EV Families: It's been a great first month back at Eastview! Our kids have been so positive and are working hard. We have a lot of new faces that we've welcomed to the Eastview Family. We also have several new staff members this year & we're so excited that they have joined our team! One person I'd like to highlight is Mrs. Bridget Smith, our new Media Center Assistant. Mrs. Smith has revamped the library and the kids love it - & she's just getting started! PTO's fundraising is partially focused on library improvements, so more to come! Mark your calendars: 9/28 is Picture Day, 1st Grade Vision Screenings 9/30, Fallapalooza Parent Event Friday evening 6:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m. 10/1.

EV Friday Family Update: We're finishing up our third week back. I want to thank everyone for coming together to kick off the year - we're rolling at Eastview! Thank you to our families for all you've done to support your kids during these first few weeks. As a parent, I know that starting school is an adjustment that affects the entire house - my K son has come home each night just a tad grumpy! We are so thankful for all you've done to support your kids! Exciting News: We will be holding Fallapalooze on October 1st from 6 - 8 p.m.! Thank you to our PTO for organizing this incredible event . After missing out last year we are pumped to be able to put this event together for our families. We will of course continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation and if necessary will modify or worse-case-scenario cancel - safety first! For now, the event is planned and we're working hard to get ready! Save the date and look for more info soon on how you can help make this event a great success!

Eastview students, we miss you already. Look at this desk in my office....we're already thinking about how to make sure you have the best possible school experience! Book Clubs will be rocking in the fall and we're just getting started with building our collection of great books for you!

There is a lot, and I mean a lot of crying happening at EV right now. Not me, definitely not me, but the love between staff & students is palpable. I received the paper in the pic from Mrs. Swininger's class. Being deemed fashionable by 5th..almost 6th graders is a big deal since I'm a total dad. lol!

Families: It's been a great year. Yep, I said great! Different, challenging, unique...of course, but together we accomplished so much & I'm so proud of our kids. I want to simply say thank you for trusting in our team this year, especially our K families who sent "their first" to us. Schools are a part of the fabric of a community and the doors are meant to be open. Tomorrow will be emotional for our staff & kids, no doubt. Please know we appreciate you, all parents & guardians ..we appreciate you! We hope you have a restful summer. Principal Kates

Field Day at EV tomorrow, Wednesday, 5/26. Please dress accordingly. If weather turns safety will be priority number 1 & we will get kids inside. Thanks to Chris Bloom for his hard work preparing and to 6th grade student leaders for running stations....and to PTO for popsicles! Principal Kates
