A MESSAGE FROM MRS. POWERS

Dear Parents,

Eden's commitment to students extends from their spiritual life and pursuit of academic excellence to safety on campus. In keeping safety of utmost importance and diligent effort, we have implemented some enhanced security practices.

Additional staff members are now posted at building entrances and exits during morning arrival time. Also, in partnership with the Northern Regional Police, frequent police patrols offer another look at security both inside and outside the building. Your child's teacher and the Eden faculty and staff receive ongoing, innovative safety training. Last week, classrooms practiced lock-down procedures appropriate to the age of the children.

Just as with David, we know that God protects us, but it is wise to be prepared! 

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”
Proverbs 29:25
In His service,
Carrie A. Powers
Elementary Principal
WEAR YOUR EDEN GEAR OR RED AND WHITE!

EDEN SPIRIT DAY
April 24, 2018

This is a great day to wear your new t-shirt designed by Wexford's 6th grade class!
6th Grade Project

Wexford 6th grade students wanted leave a legacy to our school, encourage school spirit, and raise money for a 3D printer. Recently they led a project from start to finish; designed a t-shirt, surveyed student interest, advertised their product with posters and videos, collected and counted orders, and distributed the final product.

Working together on this project, students developed teamwork and leadership skills, in a real world scenario.

Enjoy this picture of all 5th and 6th grade students that purchased a t-shirt and wore them for a recent field trip. Note: not all the students pictured were involved in the project.
ATTENTION 6TH GRADE PARENTS

7TH GRADE COURSE REQUESTS DUE BY MAY 11

Last week, Mrs. Cischke, Eden's Director of College and Career Counseling, visited the Wexford campus to talk with sixth grade students about courses offered and the 2018-2019 school year scheduling process. Following the meeting, a google course request was sent to sixth grade parent email addresses. 

All 7th grade course requests (for current Eden 6th grade students) are due by May 11.

Please contact Mrs. Cischke at bcischke@edenca.org with any questions.
