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!
