Eagle News!

Dear Families,

During the month of February, we have been excited to celebrate Black History Month! Did you know that in 1876, President Gerald Ford officially recognized Black History Month? He called upon the public to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history."

At Endeavour this month, classroom teachers are "seizing the opportunity" by using a variety of books, videos, art lessons and discussion to spotlight the rich history and accomplishments of Black Americans. Although February is specifically designated as Black History Month, we recognize that Black History is American History and it should be a celebrated part of our learning all throughout the year.

We believe their is great beauty and strength in our diversity.

Our Golden Feather Award is given each month to an Endeavour classified staff member who goes above and beyond for our school community. Our Golden Feather Award winner this month was given to our amazing custodian, Mr. Jeff Hartlove! We are grateful for Mr. Jeff's hard work to keep our school safe and clean, and the ways he goes the extra mile to support teachers and students. Mr. Jeff helps make Endeavour a great place to be!

What is one thing that, if done for you, would make you happier? Could you do that one thing for someone else? Welcome to Endeavour's Care Week where we remind ourselves that everyone is worthy of love, including ourselves. We have the ability to make our lives and the lives of those around us better.

As part of Care Week, we will be collecting new arts and craft supplies for children in need. The supplies will support students in need at Endeavour, as well as the Ukrainian Refugee Services.

Please consider sending in things such as: crayons, colored pencils, markers, playdough, coloring books, stickers, backpacks, glue sticks, fidget toys, board games etc...

Come celebrate the rich cultures we have in our community! Endeavour's 11th annual Multicultural Night will be on Thursday, March 23rd from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.

If you are interested in hosting a booth and/or putting on a performance for this special night, please contact our Dean, Mrs. Park: parcksc@mukilteo.wednet.edu.
