We are thankful for such having such caring, creative teachers at East who make school so special for their students.

Boom, Clap, Grab! Mrs. McCracken's kindergartners are having a blast learning their 3D shapes with this fun, movement-filled game! Here's how it works: 👏🏻Boom - Tap your knees. 👏🏻Clap - Clap your hands. 👏🏻Grab - Pick up a 3D shape when it's called out! Each time students hear the name of a shape like sphere, cube, or cone they "grab" that shape from the pile. It's a perfect mix of rhythm, motion, and hands-on learning that keeps everyone smiling and moving while reinforcing shape recognition. Here's a quick video: https://youtu.be/9kW30BDCQAQ?si=ngD_czUKzxI-4W_N

Reminder to Sutherlin Families - In observance of Veterans' Day on Tuesday, November 11, schools will be closed.

In the Sutherlin School District, our school days begin with the Pledge of Allegiance. At East Primary, student leaders have the opportunity to lead the pledge every Wednesday.

This morning’s leader was kindergartner Kellen Kitzrow, who did a wonderful job helping our school start the day with pride and respect! 💙🐾

If your child would like the opportunity to lead the pledge, please let their teacher know — we love seeing our young Bulldogs grow in confidence and leadership! Here's a video clip: https://youtube.com/shorts/xNKB7qXVwdc?feature=shared

Last Friday, Officer McGarvey presented his anti-bullying pledge at an all-school assembly. All students committed to help East be bully-free. Then, of course, we dressed him up like a mummy!

Thank you, Officer McGarvey for helping our school stay safe and for being so much fun. You are the best!
