DEAR Week

 We are only half way done, but it has been a fabulous week of reading!  Thank you to Mrs. Mehr and our teacher team for planning a week chock-full of pair-ups, dress-ups, and reading fun!  So many "novel" ideas!

Dads and Donuts

 

Thank you to our East Prairie Dads Group and the PTA for sponsoring a fabulous first "Dads and Donuts" family event.  The opportunity to come together, connect, and have some fun brought together lots of dads, kids, families, and community members for a sensational Saturday morning.  

Donuts were enjoyed and coffee consumed as paper airplanes soared through the atrium and all manner of games were played in the gym.  Not to mention, we collected and organized tons of clothing for our Panther Pantry (grand reopening in new location coming soon). 

What a wonderful way to bring folks together and build new partnerships!

We got this!

 We tested our strength and endurance as we rocked the IAR test!  Our students surely soared to success (like they do each and every day)!

Thank you to our 5th graders for adding their spirited and inspirational messages to our front circle as we wrap-up the week!

Let it fly!

In preparation for our April 15th Dads & Donuts event - our staff tried out the paper airplane contest idea as our team builder at this week's staff meeting.  Needless to say it was a soaring success!

Family Math Night

 

Our students + our families + our staff + engaging mathematical activities = a fabulous evening

Thank you to the many kids and families that came out to Family Math Night!  Thank you to Mrs. Griffin, Mrs. Andrew, Ms. Tziolas, Mrs. Bart, and Mrs. Rice for helping to plan and implement a very fun event.

The Jungle Book mini-musical

Congratulations to the cast and crew of The Jungle Book on two phenomenal performances this week.  Thank you to Ms. Wade-Kuzwayo and Ms. Pasia for their mentorship in supporting and sponsoring the show.  It is wonderful to see this East Prairie tradition continue to thrive!

That's a wrap on quarter 3!

A core belief of our community is that we are at our very best when we are together.  Friday afternoon’s pep rally and intergrade level pair-up activities lived that belief in a magical way! 

Thank you to our cheerleading squad, 3rd grade choir, and 5th grade band for all showcasing their talents for our entire school.  We also had a dance party, half court shot challenge, and coin collection contest to tally the 800 shillings left by our local leprechaun.

Thank you to our teachers for working together to plan many engaging and meaningful activities for our students of different ages to come together, bond, and simply have fun!
