****Please see the correction below. The 5th Grade Ceremony is indeed Wednesday!****

Dear Eastover Families,

Our final week is here! It is sure to be a busy week, celebrating a fabulous year of learning and the building of friendships. Please be sure to read through this email to not miss any important information. Our teachers are communicating any specific instructions related to their classrooms as well.

In addition to the numerous grade level/class celebrations, here are a few highlights from this past week:

Camper's 5th Birthday Parade was a huge hit on Monday!
Field Day was filled with fun, even with having to quickly shift our afternoon session indoors due to the approaching storms! All the volunteers helped to make this a success, along with Mrs. Tollafield and Mr. Smith's planning and organization.
Our Eastover Book Fair was a HUGE success! Thank you to Mrs. Livingston, Mrs. Mularski, and our volunteers for all the hours supporting this awesome endeavor!
Eastover Extravaganza took place yesterday evening and it was truly a wonderful community event. I felt like we had a record number of families in attendance as the back playground and fields were filled. Thank you to Kristin Haggerty, Siglendy Murguia, and Katie White for taking the lead on organizing this event as well as all the volunteers who gave their time! Additonal thanks to BIFF radio from BHHS for coming out to provide the music and broadcasting! Finally, a shout out to Brynn and the Masson kids for their extra efforts on the clean up crew!
5th Grade spent an afternoon watching Moana at North Hills Middle School, one last chance to set foot in their new school!

On WEDNESDAY, June 11, we celebrate our 5th graders end of their elementary career! We will have them parade through the school so our students can clap them into their ceremony. The ceremony is in the gym and families should park in the lower carpool lot entering directly into the gym (no stairs). Please do not block the driveway and entrance to the Transportation Department. Siblings are unable to be pulled from classrooms to attend the ceremony or for dismissal at the conclusion of the ceremony due to the level of disruption this will cause.

Construction Update for Summer 2025:

New flooring throughout the building including classrooms
New cabinets in classrooms
Fresh paint in our classrooms and in other areas of the building
New ceiling and lighting in our cafeteria
New servery and kitchen upgrades
New roof in sections of the building
New mechanical, including boilers, in various parts of the building

We thank our community for their ongoing support through bonds and millages. These upgrades help to provide our community's children with the best environment in which to thrive and grow.
