Welcome to the February Newsletter,
As we move ever so slowly towards Spring, I wanted to get the opinion from experts about the importance of Valentine’s Day. A small panel of Kindergarteners and Preschoolers were happy to tell me their thoughts.
What is so important about Valentine’s Day in February?
- Because I spend time with my family. My mom works a lot but has time to spend Valentine’s Day with me.
- Because we give presents like chocolate: I like chocolate even though it has sugar.
- You get to eat and spend time with family.
- You give cards to people
- You get Valentine’s chocolate and skittles
- You give hugs, and loves and heart shaped cards.
So as you enjoy February, just remember that what we say, do and how we treat others is definitely making an impact on others, up to the very smallest of us.
And as I had a captive audience of experts, I asked about what they loved about Spring? This was met with a cacophony of answers, some of which are as follows:
- I love to …swim
- Play outside
- Go on a boat
- Ride on my quad
- Pick flowers for my family
- Bake good cookies
- Ride around on toys outside
- Go to the zoo
- Seeds, and seeds!
So as we move to the second semester, may we remember to treat others with love and chocolate and to remember to play outside and go places with our families and friends…this is what the experts say! A special thank you to my kinder friends, notably Sawyer, Kayden and Kent…you rocked the answers!
Happy February!
Thank you for being such an amazing community to raise children in: Eatonville Strong: Strong Schools = Strong Community!
Sincerely and with chocolate,
Krestin

Eatonville Special Olympics
Sub-Regionals Basketball in Bremerton - Saturday, January 25
Eatonville ended up taking bronze/3rd place in our division. Athletes were happy to have a medal!
They played exceptionally well since they only had a five member team with no subs for three games, most teams were 8-10 players.
Also, the students played in the Masters/Adult division because one of the team members is over age 21, so they had the youngest team in their division.
Very proud of our Eatonville Cruiser athletes for representing Eatonville so well with good sportsmanship and fun!
Check out the team's Facebook page “Eatonville Special Olympics” for basketball game videos.

Leah Smiley (EHS Student)
