Good afternoon, Eaton families! Here is your Monday Minute for the week of May 11th.
1. Thank you to everyone who donated or sponsored a staff member to make last week’s Teacher Appreciation a success. Our teachers loved the different events each day and that wouldn’t have been possible without you! Thank you.
2. Tomorrow is Field day. Students should bring water and dress in tennis shoes. Also, we will have Kona Ice during lunch time. We need a few volunteers to help at the flavor station too.
3. Wednesday is student celebrations and our Bounce Blast Party for good behavior.
4. Thursday is our Talent Show, Walk of Fame (parents begin checking in at 1:20), and Kindergarten celebration.
5. Friday is a half day of school. We will release report cards at 10:00. 10:50 we will start our top 80 cars followed by bus and then regular parent pickup. All students should be picked up no later than 11:30.
6. If your child signed up for summer school we look forward to seeing them at 8:00 on May 26th.
Have a great week!

Our 2nd graders brought history to life today at their Wax Museum! From inventors to explorers to world‑changing leaders, these kids stepped into their roles with confidence and creativity. So proud of their hard work and the way they lit up the room. ✨📚
What an incredible finish to Teacher Appreciation Week. Our Chill‑N‑Grill luncheon was the perfect way to wrap up a week full of gratitude. A huge THANK YOU to our amazing parents for your donations, sponsorships, and unwavering support. Our staff felt valued and celebrated. ❤️🍔

🐣✨ Learning Takes Flight in 3rd Grade! ✨🐣Our 3rd graders had an egg-cellent time this week putting their engineering skills to the test during our Egg Drop Science Experiment! There were cheers, a few cracks, and lots of learning as students explored concepts like gravity, force, and problem-solving. 🥚⬇️
Miss Mayfield’s class had a roaring good time for Dino Day! We became paleontologists and “excavated” cookies to uncover hidden fossils. Learning has never been this delicious.
We’re celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week in full bloom. Today our staff enjoyed a beautiful flower bar sponsored by our amazing parents, with stunning stems provided by Blooming Visions Florist. Thank you to our teachers for helping our students grow every day.
Our cafeteria just got a major upgrade. New tables, fresh look, and our school logo front and center. Love seeing our space reflect the pride we feel every day. Go 🚀❤️💙!

✨ What’s New Wednesday at the Cosmic Café! ✨ Today some of our classes got an exclusive first taste of possible new menu items for next semester. From sweet to savory, our student taste‑testers gave honest reviews. Stay tuned… the future of the Cosmic Café is looking delicious!
Huge thank you to our amazing parents for continuing to spoil our teachers this week. Today’s treats were extra special , Town Creek Pharmacy provided B‑12 shots to keep our staff energized, and Fizzy Kiss Soda Bar kept everyone refreshed with delicious drinks. We’re so grateful for this community that lifts up our teachers every single day.
Today was a special day filled with pride, memories, and full-circle moments. 💙 Not long ago, these students walked our hallways as elementary learners. Today, they returned as graduating seniors for their Legacy Walk, and it was truly inspiring to see how much they’ve grown. Even more meaningful, they took time to share words of wisdom with our 4th graders as they prepare to take their next step into middle school. Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Once part of our school family, always part of our story. We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see all that you accomplish next. 🎓✨
