From the Principal's Desk
The exciting news around Emerald Hills is that the new play toy is in and students have been having a lot of fun using that new equipment during their recess time. It took a great team effort to finish up the purchase and installation of the new playground equipment. I want to thank a number of people and organizations:
- Our Emerald Hills PTO for raising the funds and purchasing the new playground equipment. Last year’s PTO Board included Lori Nelson, Melinda Rudolph, Vanessa Wyse, Marcie Teed, Amanda Pemberton and Becky Bell.
- A number of Emerald Hills dads came to the building on December 18 and took apart the old play toy.
- Al and Nick Seeley for their work on consecutive Saturdays in December to finish the removal of the old equipment and prepare the site.
- Our Sumner School District maintenance crew for reinstalling the recyclable gravel and spreading the additional material.
- Mike Iverson of Corliss Resources, for coordinating the donation of additional gravel for the area.
Again, this was truly a collaborative effort with outstanding results for the students here at Emerald Hills.
Last Thursday, under the guidance of Patti O’Malley and Jeremy Martin, we held the Emerald Hills Science Fair. We had the largest turnout ever for our EHE Science Fair, selected the best projects for each grade, and encouraged students to display their work at the District Science Fair at Mt. View Middle School on February 6.
Please remember to mail your ballot for the Sumner School District Maintenance and Operations Levy by Tuesday, February 9. This is a vote by mail only election and it would be great if you could encourage others to mail their ballots in as well.
In the coming weeks, our fabulous PE teacher, Mr. Holme, will be sending out information about the formation of an Emerald Hills Mileage Club. The Mileage Club will be in action during selected recesses, and students will be able to earn mileage by walking or running along a designated path. Details about this activity will be coming from Mr. Holme in the near future.
Finally, in last month’s newsletter, I shared with you two of my goals for the remainder of the school year. An update on one of those goals; so far this year, I’ve made 87 positive phone calls home about the good work our Lakers do here at Emerald Hills. I still have a ways to go to meet that goal, and I want to thank the Laker staff and students for their efforts in helping me to reach the target of a positive call home for every student.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact the school.
Sincerely,
Chuck Eychaner
Principal
