Remember no school Wednesday for Veterans Day!
The week of November 16th is Spirit Week. We will have a penny drop to help
fund Student Council projects for East. Containers will be placed inside by
the gym labeled Alabama and Auburn the children may drop pennies when they
come in to school each morning. This is always a lot of fun and gets very
competitive! Also, it is dress up week. I wanted to remind you early in
case you needed to look for clothes to wear that week.
Monday – Color Day. (second grade wears white)
