Greetings,
Happy MARCH EDUCATION MADNESS!
We are so EXCITED and really looking forward to receiving the hybrid students for 4 days in person instruction in the week of March 22nd! Be advised that the window to make a selection to return has closed. If you are interested in having the student return, the next date will be in April following spring break.
Next week we will be hosting our 1st ever, virtual book fair! Our Virtual Book Fair will be from the dates of March 8th-21st. We ENCOURAGE you to continue to challenge yourself to read throughout the month of March EDUCATION Madness. You may find a book or two that you like while browsing the virtual bookstore.
Until next week,
Have a great weekend!

Student Achievement
GT Students Study Their Roots
The students in Mrs Pettit's GT class began researching their family's cultural heritage, and shared their findings with the class. More to come on this unit of study, as they are having fun learning about geography, history, culture, and each other!
Presidential Scholars
Mrs. Tuthill and Mrs. Baldwin's 3rd grade class completed a "Compare and Contrast" writing assignment on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The class gathered information on each president utilizing biographies, videos, and graphic organizers. Check out the impressive example below from one of their scholarly students!

Wrapping Up Read Across America Week With A Special Tribute
As we celebrated Read Across America week, we were honored to have a video shared with us by Joetta Surace, Principal of Swift. The video is of her beloved Cara (Mrs. Bluth, Assistant Principal of the Hess Complex) and her granddaughter Frankie (Daughter of Erica – who was a former teacher here in EHT). Cara is reading a story to Frankie for RAA Week. Joetta’s family requested that this be sent to EHT teachers in honor of Cara’s legacy and her love for reading/education.
