Principal Guyton's Message to families
Greetings Eagle Families,
I hope you are well! As we conclude the 3rd Nine Weeks, please continue to remind your scholar of the classroom behavioral and academic expectations. Let's remain working closely together so that our scholars continue to make progress. All Eagle Scholars should be reading every night for at least 20 minutes and practicing math facts. If you need books or need ideas to help your scholar at home, please reach out to your child's teacher. We are always here to help! Due to spring break, March is a shorter month. However, it is filled with a lot of activities/events. Some of our highlighted events/important dates are listed below. We hope to see you around!

How Spring Got Its Name 🌸 🌱 🐣
- 🌱 The spring season gets its name from the verb "spring." It's a nod to the flowers and plants springing up, springing open, and bursting into blossom.
- 🐣 The word itself comes from the Old English word "springan," which means "to leap, burst forth, fly up; spread, grow."
- 🌸 During the 14th century, the word came to describe the spring season, the time when plants wake from their winter sleep and bloom.
- 🌅 Before that, the word "Lent" was used to describe the season: "In the past it was the main word for ‘spring.' Lent surfaced as ‘lencten,' that is, ‘lengten': the season got its name because in spring days lengthen." (full article here)
