East Elementary: Excellence at Work
Staff Newsletter for 2015-2016, Episode 5
BOO!
Halloween spirits, ghosts, and cats.
Weird happenings and witch's brew,
These are the things we wish for you...
May the only ghost that comes your way,
Be the Holy Ghost to guide your way.
May the only spirits you chance to meet,
Be the spirits of love and friendship sweet.
These are our Halloween wishes for you...
May God bless you in everything you do.
It's no TRICK, I just want to say,
It's a...
TREAT to know you each and every day!
May this be a week full of sweet times with your students and your families!
You are loved and appreciated!

Spirit Store Update!
I know this has been a sacrifice of time on your part so thank you so much for encouraging your students to participate! We have made a great deal of money that will help in launching our Spirit Stick effort for rewards and incentives. Beginning this next week we will be utilizing spirit sticks for Perfect Attendance for each Nine Weeks, Birthdays, and Box Top Rewards.
