Eagles' Nest
Family edition - December 2017
Principal's Message
We have a lot of activities planned to keep students engaged through the end of the semester. Also the counselor's office, along with StuCo, will coordinate their annual event to help the community! The week of December 4th brings our Change for Change drive, which provides assistance for local families in need.
Thank you for a wonderful first semester! I am looking forward to our continued partnership in your child's education.

PTO News!
*To celebrate the holiday season and thank our teachers and staff, the PTO is asking for your help. Teachers and staff have submitted a wish list of small items for their classrooms and departments. There are 2 ways you can help:
1. There is a "Giving Tree" outside of the main office. Each leaf contains an item from a teacher's wish list. Pick up a leaf, or more, buy the items and return the items to the main office by DECEMBER 20.
2. Pick a "Virtual" leaf via this email by clicking this link (link is also below) . Sign up for whichever wish list item(s) you want to purchase and follow the same drop-off instructions as above.
