October 2019
A Little Fall Break
Students are out of school Monday, October 7, and Tuesday, October 8; but, we will be here for the benefit of your child. Tuesday, October 8, is Teacher and Parent Conference Day. If you would like to meet with your child's teacher but haven't yet made an appointment, don't panic. Simply send an email request to the teacher, and we will get you scheduled. #TeamTuesday
EAT FOR EAST
Eat at Jersey Mike's Subs any day(s) between October 6-12 to earn funds for EES. For each coupon used, you will earn $2 for our school. Coupons will be posted to our social media sites this weekend. Don't worry if you forget the coupons; Jersey Mike's will have them at the register. Get out to eat for East!

Event Information
Lunch on the Lawn Parent Picnic
October is Parent Visitation Month in Alabama schools. We have enjoyed seeing so many of you having lunch with your child this year and hope that you will continue to visit. In the hopes of making you feel at home, we are having our 14th Annual Parent Picnic Day on Friday, October 18. On this day, you are welcome to come to East during your child’s lunchtime and have an old-fashioned picnic style lunch on the lawn. Bring blankets and chairs, picnic baskets, and plenty of food. If you prefer, CNP will be grilling hotdogs & hamburgers, with all the fixings, in the CubCat Café. Bring a lunch, buy a lunch: either way, have lunch with us on the lawn.
