Join us in wishing one of our amazing custodians a very Happy Birthday! 🥳🎂 Thank you, Mrs. Laura, for all your hard work and everything you do to keep Eaton looking its best! We hope your day is as wonderful as you are! 🚀🌹🎈

Something egg-citing happened in Ms. Mayfield’s second-grade class! 🥚🐣 Over the span of three days, all NINE of our chicks hatched! Students got to watch the chicks work their way out of their shells and see the life cycle come to life right in their classroom. From looking inside of the eggs to see tiny embryos, to spotting the first cracks, to meeting our fluffy new friends, this has been quite the experience! 💛🐥 Special thank you to Mrs. Powell for making this idea come to life now for a third time! 🥰

🚀🌟 BIG NEWS🌟🚀 We are thrilled to announce we earned a Level 5 TVAAS Growth Score, the highest growth designation awarded by the State of TN! 🎉Our Rockets achieved Level 5 ratings in Literacy, Numeracy, Literacy & Numeracy, and Overall Schoolwide Growth, demonstrating the incredible progress our students made and the unwavering dedication of our teachers, staff, families, and community.

We couldn't be prouder of our students and educators for this outstanding accomplishment!

🌟 Way to go, Rockets! Your hard work is launching us to new heights! 🚀❤️

A big shoutout to Henry for doing a spectacular job as our guest announcer today! 🎤 Henry also shared an important reminder during his Words of Wisdom: 💙 "When we focus on our blessings instead of our complaints, our hearts grow full of joy. Remember, a thankful heart is a happy heart." What a wonderful message as we continue to celebrate an attitude of gratitude. Thank you, Henry, for being a great role model and helping us start the day on a positive note!

🎙️A big thank you to Elin for doing an amazing job as our guest announcer! As Elin reminded us, let's be thankful for what we have and be careful not to fall into the "gimme trap" like King Midas. Great job, Elin, and thank you for sharing such an important reminder! 💙🦁

Lance Corporal, Chris Crabtree TTU student teacher, Mrs. Henry’s dad came today for Veterans Day and talked about what it was like as a Marine. He brought pictures and his actual backpack, hat, and helmet for Ms. Hannah’s class. Thank you for your service!

Good afternoon, Eaton families! Here is your Monday Minute for the week of November 9th.

1. We have enjoyed seeing the “Disguise a Turkey” activity being turned in last week. Please keep sending them in and we’ve already started hanging them in the lobby for everyone to see. Link to Activity: https://aptg.co/ZF37ty

2. Volunteering: Our next CSP meeting will be tomorrow at 9:30 in the EES cafeteria. Other opportunities to volunteer can be found on our signup genius: https://bit.ly/26-27EESVolSignup . We are looking for donations for a staff appreciation potato bar if you would like to consider donating.

3. Join us in honoring the veterans who have served our country on Wednesday for Veterans Day. We would like students to wear red, white, and blue on Wednesday. We are inviting the veterans in your family to participate in our parade. Veterans should meet at Central United Methodist Church at 9:45 a.m. and will then caravan through the NMS and EES parking lots at 10:00am while our students cheer and thank them for their service. We would also love to recognize family veterans during our evening program on November 12. Please send a photo of your veteran to lande@loudoncounty.org along with the following information:
a. Student Name
b. Grade
c. Relationship to Veteran
d. Veteran's Name
e. Branch of Service
Thank you for helping us celebrate and honor those who have served our nation! ✨

4. 🦷 Parent Tip: Good oral health is an important part of your child's overall well-being. Encourage children to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and limit sugary snacks and drinks. Last week we sent home information about the upcoming free dental sealant program that will be offered at school. These services can help prevent cavities and keep your child's smile healthy for years to come! Dental sealants can prevent up to 80% of cavities in the back teeth where most childhood cavities occur. Flyer: https://aptg.co/CYkbCm 🪥😁

Have a great week!

🎙️ A big thank you to Audley for serving as our guest announcer today! Audley kicked off our morning with a wonderful reminder to be thankful for the good in our lives, the good we can share with others, and the good that is still yet to come. 🚀
