Good afternoon, Eaton families. Here is your Monday Minute for the week of January 19th.

1. We are looking for volunteers to help sell ice cream on Fridays and Candy Grams in February. We are also looking for donations of Hershey kisses for the candy grams and items for our Soup-off competition. Check out our link for volunteer or donation opportunities that are coming up: https://bit.ly/25-26EESVolSignup

2. Friday is our January family engagement evening from 5:30-7:00. It will have a math focus developed for each grade level. We hope you will come and join us for an evening of math fun. Swing by for some lemonade theme fun!

3. Next Tuesday, January 27th we are going to have a “Stand up w/Ms. Stephanie” day as our school community comes together to support our beloved paraprofessional currently battling cancer. Students are encouraged to take part in this meaningful donation day and show how powerful our compassion can be. Every contribution, big or small, helps lift up someone who has given so much. 💙Students are encouraged to wear a hat and/or pink. The class that donates the most will earn a ice cream sundae party.

4. Morning Drop-off: To help keep our students safe and ensure a smooth morning arrival, all students must be dropped off along the main sidewalk only (directly in front of the school). The side lot is not a designated drop off area for students in kindergarten through 4th grade and should not be used for student arrival. Additionally, we ask that parents remain in their vehicles during drop off and avoid walking students up to the sidewalk. We have volunteers and staff members on the sidewalk to assist students as they enter the building. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and efficient arrival process for everyone.

5. Winter Jackets: Please make sure to send your student to school with a jacket and place their name on the inside so we can return it if its misplaced.

6. Covenant Health Kids Run Kickoff Event will be February 7, 2026, at Zoo Knoxville! Here is the flyer: https://aptg.co/ZDqNPs Registration/check-in will take place starting at 8 am with the run beginning at 9 am. The Covenant Health Kids Run in downtown Knoxville is also set for Saturday, April 11. They will accept walk up registration on Feb 7, but they prefer online registration here:
