Congratulations to the September Students of the Month for 3rd-5th grade.! These students were selected by their teachers for having a growth mindset.

Principal Swegles is a true man of his word! Because our generous Eastern community met our Jog-a-Thon fundraising goal, Mr. Swegles followed through on his promise to stay the entire night before Friday's event on the school roof. With a tent, air mattress, blankets, a book and a couple snacks from students, he made it through the night under the stars and for our Eastern stars. Way to go Mr. Swegles and also a big thank you to our supportive school community and PTO.

SRP Action Spotlight: SECURE 🔒

Directive: "Get inside. Lock the outside doors."

When there is a potential hazard outside the school, such as nearby police activity, we use SECURE. All exterior doors are locked, everyone stays inside, and normal activities continue inside the building.
