We want to recognize what a fantastic job our 5th graders did on their Living Wax Museum project! They have spent many weeks researching, writing, and memorizing their speeches, as well as putting their boards together and finding their costumes and props. We are so proud of them and the work they put into this project!

Enjoy the video on our Facebook account to see what historical figures we had join us this year!

Yesterday, our 1st graders had a fun-filled day exploring the trains, history, and exhibits at the Monticello Railway Museum! From climbing aboard historic railcars to learning how railroads helped shape communities, students had a blast while making real-world connections to their learning. A big thank you to the museum staff, teachers, and chaperones for a wonderful experience!

Shout-out to our young learners in Mrs. Cline’s kindergarten class! Students were hard at work today building their subtraction skills through hands-on game stations—learning while having fun.

They also took time to dissect and explore the different parts of an egg as part of their science unit. There’s a lot of excitement in the room as they patiently wait for their baby chicks to hatch soon!

Great work, Kindergarten! 🐣

Field Day fun was in full swing at East this afternoon! Students had a blast rotating through a variety of game stations and enjoying time outside together with music and friends.

A big thank you to our high school volunteers for sharing their time and energy with us. It’s always great to have older students in the building serving as positive role models for our younger learners!

We wrapped up the day with a visit from Kona Ice to “cool off.” We may have been wishing for temperatures about 20 degrees warmer, but it didn’t slow us down—we still had a great time!

Nice work, East!

We had a great visit from the Unity High School pep band today! Our students loved the energy and excitement, and it was extra special to see our 5th grade band members jump in and perform alongside them at the end. A fun experience for everyone and a great way to celebrate music at all levels!
