Eastview Elementary School

Families: State testing starts tomorrow, 4/20, grades 3 through 6. We are so proud of our kids. Get outside and be active at night, get to bed, and most importantly just show up with an "I got this" attitude. Tests are an important measure of our kids' development, but they are limited in what they tell us about the human beings we're all working together to nurture. I'm impressed by how our kids have grown academically, but moreover I'm proud of how they've developed throughout the last year as people. Parents & guardians, we're a team...keep the vibes positive and get those kids to bed!

Sarah Paxton (L) and Mary Callahan (R) are Life Skills teachers at Eastview Elementary. During the month of March they held a fundraiser for Down Syndrome Day on March 21, 2021. Students were asked to bring in change for two weeks. The fundraiser was called Change For Change. The students and staff brought in $1406.03!!!!! A huge thank you to the students and staff for supporting Life Skills and Down Syndrome. The money was sent to Down Syndrome Indiana.

We're excited to announce the Students of the Month for March. Our character focus was on demonstrating a "growth mindset" - we're proud of our Eagle Leaders!

Eastview Elementary has raised over a $1,000 for World Down syndrome Day (our "Change for Change" Project). The goal was $321.00! The effort began with the Life Skills team and quickly became an entire school family endeavor; I'm so proud that during a difficult economic time for so many our school family has been able to come together and selflessly raise such a substantial amount of money for a great cause. This is something to really be proud of as an entire school - thank you! We will continue to raise money until Friday (and kids, don't forget to wear your crazy socks on Friday to cap off this amazing project!)

K students supporting "Change for Change". Great job!

Let's wear our red & white for a Spartan Pride day on Friday to support the basketball team as they face Sullivan in the IHSAA Regional this weekend at the famed Hatchet House in Washington. There's nothing better than high school basketball in Indiana. Not much to cheer about for my other red & white team....so let's all get behind the Connersville Spartans! https://connersvilleathletics.com/2021/03/07/the-spartans-boys-basketball-are-headed-to-the-regional-and-the-hatchet-house/

Eastview Families: Reminder that we are raising money for World Downsyndrome Day..."Change for Change"! Ask your teachers if you need more information. Thank you to our Life Skills team for coordinating and for our entire school community for supporting this effort. Principal Kates

World Down Syndrome Day is March 21, 2021. Eastview is going to observe this day on March 19th, 2021. The Life Skills program is going to raise money for our local Down Syndrome Association. We would like to raise $321 between March 5th and March 19th. Along with raising money, we would also ask that each student and staff member wear mismatched or crazy socks to help recognize this day on March 19th. We are calling this fundraiser Change for Change!
