East Elementary Parent Newsletter
December 2017 Edition
Holiday Wishes and Blessings!
My wish for this newsletter is to be able to convey to each of our families how blessed Ashley and I are to work with a staff that is so committed to meeting the needs of our students and our East families. I have seen this staff come together many times over the course of this fall to extend a helping hand to families and staff members in need and to go well beyond the scope of what they've been hired to do to love on your children. East is truly a special place and we are grateful that you trust your children with us!
We hope you have a wonderful holiday season with your families. We love your children and look forward to what 2018 has in store for East. Thank you for being a part of our team!

DEAL Time Update and Community Service in December
Your children have been working with partners this year to learn leadership habits and put them into practice! So far this year we have learned about Being Proactive, Beginning with the End in Mind, and Putting First things First. During the month of December, they will be working with their small group and their partners to bless others in our community and put our leadership habits into practice. Please ask your children about their DEAL time partner and what they are learning about being leaders!
