We had an awesome crowd this morning for ALL PRO DADS. Thank you to all the families who participated.

Pizza Time! These students earned a pizza party by being generous. We had three leaders in our can food drive. Mrs. Gerhardt, Mrs. Richardson and Ms. Gibson's class brought in the most cans so far. We will keep collecting cans through December.









🌟 World Kindness Day at EEE - Tomorrow! 🌟
Tomorrow, we’re celebrating World Kindness Day at EEE, and we want YOU to join in the fun! How can you participate? Wear a shirt with a kind or encouraging message. Whether it’s a quote, a simple "Be Kind," or any uplifting words, let’s spread positivity through our clothing! Spread kindness throughout the day with random acts of kindness – big or small! Hold the door for someone, offer a compliment, help a friend, or just share a smile.
Let’s make the world a little brighter, one kind act at a time!


Dear East End Families,
The Community Service Club, sponsored by Mr. Sammy Blassingame, is excited to announce that we will be collecting items for Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes this year. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students to make a positive impact and spread holiday cheer to children in need around the world.
Attached to this letter, you will find a list of items that can be donated. Please send your donations to school by Thursday, November 21, 2024, so that we can fill as many shoeboxes as possible!
To make things even more exciting, we’ll be holding a friendly competition between homerooms. The winning homerooms in grades K-2 and 3-5 will have the fun chance to slime either Mr. Sammy Blassingame, Mrs. Spearman, or Mrs. Swinyer!
We can't wait to see how many boxes we can fill and how much fun we can have supporting this incredible cause!
Thank you for your generosity and participation.

Such a great day with our wild hair and socks today!
