Wow, this year has just flown by--one more month to go until school is out and there's still so much to do! We are honoring our Teachers and Moms this month, along with bringing back the very popular Teacher/Staff For A Day Fundraiser! We also have 4th and 5th grade social studies Walk-Throughs. Plus, we are kicking off the 6th Grade Play with a super fun Flag Deck that you don't want to miss! Read below for details and a special Save the Date!

Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week!

Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week is May 1st-May 5th! Classes will have activities planned for the week for our wonderful teachers.

Our teachers and staff will also enjoy a special luncheon on Friday- a celebration for all their hard work and dedication in teaching our wonderful students this entire year! Let's show them how much we love and appreciate them!!

Teacher/Staff For A Day Fundraiser!

Has your child ever dreamed about being their favorite Eastbluff Teacher or Staff Member?? Now they can! Eastbluff Elementary's Teacher/Staff for a Day fundraiser is back after a 3 year hiatus! 

Here's how it works: Every morning before school starting May 1st-May 12th, students can purchase raffle tickets for just $1 each. Teachers & Staff will each have a bucket labeled with their name- your child simply places their ticket (with their first/last name written clearly on it) into the bucket(s) of the Teacher/Staff Member that they hope to be! Your child may choose whomever teacher or staff member they would like! 

Winners will be selected by random drawing at Flag Deck on May 12th. The actual Teacher/Staff for a Day event will take place on Wednesday, May 17th, where they will enjoy a hands-on experience with their favorite staff member or teacher, including a welcome breakfast and fun lunch!

If your child is a winner, information will be sent home so you know just what to do on this special day.

Eastbluff Garden Reveal!

We are thrilled to announce that the Eastbluff Garden has been fully revived and beautified to all its potential glory! It has taken countless hours and many volunteers to accomplish this incredible feat and we invite everyone to come to Flag Deck on Friday, June 2nd to celebrate the Garden with us! We will be serving light refreshments for all to enjoy as well!
