Save the Date for Evansdale Grounds Clean Up, March 18
This is it!!! The last major clean-up for this school year!!! Bring your landscaping tools or come use ours and help clean-up the Evansdale School grounds. Some tasks we'd like to tackle include: Weeding the front beds, trim front bushes, weed-eating along the learning cottages, blowing leaves off and edging sidewalks and parking lots, and cleaning of center courtyard. We will also walk the Nature Trail and see what needs to be done. Please bring any tools you would like to donate to the students to take care of the Student Garden. Many thanks for your efforts!!!

Free Lacrosse Clinics for Eagles
Parents,
We are excited to announce that the Evansdale field will be used for some lacrosse games. There is a local league that needed
a field and they agreed to help nourish our field back to health if we agreed to let them us it for their practices and games. In
addition to the field being spruced up, they have also generously agreed to host FREE lacrosse clinics here at Evansdale.
If your child has expressed interest in lacrosse or if they are looking to try something new, this is a great opportunity for them to learn
some basic lacrosse skills. Children will not need to bring any equipment to the clinics. Everything will be provided for them.
Boys and girls of all ages are encouraged to come out!
Lacrosse Clinics at Evansdale (on the lower field)
Saturday, March 18th from 3:30pm-4:30pm
Saturday, April 15th from 2:30pm-3:30pm
Saturday, May 13th from 9:00am-10:00am

A Bunch of Thanks for Digging In to Help the Student Gardens
The first grade team would like to thank our students and families who came on Saturday to help clean out the Evansdale gardens and donated tools. The gardens look amazing. We can't wait to get our students planting! They are very excited about their upcoming plant study. Thank you again to our wonderful Evansdale community for supporting our students and our campus.
Sincerely,

Evansdale Students Stepped Up for Walk to School Day
"It was a beautiful morning for the Green Team sponsored Georgia Walk to School at Evansdale Elementary School on Wednesday, March 1st. Thanks to the approximately 120 students (and their parents) who helped make our Evansdale air little cleaner by walking, biking, or skateboarding to school. Don't forget to watch for "Bike to School" day on May 10th! We'll bring the treats for all bikers to enjoy from 7:00-7:45 am."
Thanks,
