Weekly WOW - July 31
East Vincent Elementary School
GREETINGS FROM EV PRINCIPAL, MS. SEELEY
Dear East Vincent Elementary School Family,
I plan to keep this version of the WOW short given the number of other communications that I've needed to send as of late.
This edition of the WOW includes important dates, school supply information, OJR Education Foundation: Offers Hope Campaign, EV staffing updates, and reminders.
The last edition of the WOW included reopening plan updates, beautiful artwork by EV students through the 2019-2020 school year, Honor Artist selections, and a Kindness Poster winner.
I hope you stay connected with us through the #EVReadsAllSummer Stay Connected Challenge on Facebook and Twitter and each Wednesday for Listen and Lunch Mystery Readers.
Miss you!
Be well,
Ms. Seeley

EAR BUDS AND OTHER SCHOOL SUPPLIES
All students will need at least one pair of earbuds/headphones for the 20-21 school year. While this has been the case always, it is more important now than ever. Depending on the device your child uses, you may want a straight jack to plug in to a device as it is more universal. You may want to buy a few pairs if you find a good deal and/or invest in a good reliable pair.
We are not providing ear buds/headphones, but please contact me if you have a hardship and we'll do our best to supply them for you.
Other school supplies can be found on the EV webpage in the Quick Links section.
Device information can be found on the EV webpage too.

OJR EDUCATION FOUNDATION: OFFERS HOPE CAMPAIGN
The OJR Education Foundation is currently collecting donations for the purchase of technology, such as Chromebooks, that many of our families cannot afford or were lost in the recent fire. Your help is needed to provide the funding that will enable the purchase of these materials for those in the most need in our community. The Education Foundation’s OFFER HOPE campaign will provide technology for the members of our school district who find themselves in need at this time.
Please view the letter from the OJRSD Principals if you'd like to learn about the OJREF OFFERS HOPE CAMPAIGN, including how to make a tax deductible contribution.
