Ms. Hays had her students create a STEAM based ornament for the class tree. She sent home a bag of random items (paperclip, beads, a zip tie, a piece of felt, a popsicle stick, etc). They were also allowed to choose one item of their choice to make the ornament. 🎄

Lyla was the perfect amount of energy this morning to be our guest announcer. Her words of wisdom were on the spot, "be thankful for the good in your life, the good you can share, and the good that's yet to come."
Sadie was our guest announcer today. She has a calming voice and started us off on the right note. During the "Words of Wisdom" she reminded us all to fight off those gimmes during the holiday season.
#GivingTuesday was a huge success. Thank you EES community for donating 1,190 pairs of socks.
Congratulations to Mrs. Dauscha’s room for bringing the most pair of socks.
In the wake of Rachel Greer's passing, Honorary Teacher at Eaton Elementary, our hearts are heavy with grief as we remember an incredible teacher, a superb colleague, and a beacon of kindness. Rachel's impact on those around her was profound; she had an uncanny ability to bring warmth and compassion to every interaction. As an educator, she was not only dedicated but truly amazing, leaving an indelible mark on the lives of her students. Her colleagues were fortunate to witness her unwavering support and collaboration, making her not just a superb colleague but also a cherished friend. Beyond her professional life, Rachel's role as an amazing mom and wife was evident in her love, faith, and joy she brought to her family. Rachel shared her love with gnomes with her classroom, team, and school. Now, as we find a gnome, we'll remember Rachel's spirit, and in each one, we'll find a piece of the kindness and love she so effortlessly bestowed upon everyone lucky enough to know her. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to her family during this difficult time. We love you Greer!
