Dear Eastview Friends and Families,
Welcome to the month of February! As we move through our winter months, we continue to enjoy working with your children each and every day. This is such an exciting time of the school year as we see students truly start to grow and blossom as learners. Students are challenged and engaged in learning new concepts and developing the independent skills to be successful in their schoolwork.
This month for our character education, we will be focusing on the trait of Friendship. During our morning meeting time, we will discuss what friendship means, how we demonstrate friendship to others, and what we can do to be a good friend to others at school. As a part of our Friendship celebration, we will be sharing Valentines in our homeroom classes on February 14th. Teachers will be sending home information about this with your child.
February will also be a time to celebrate Science! On February 10th, we will be welcoming yo-yo expert, Dazzling Dave, to our school. Students will be learning about the physics behind how yo-yos work and also learning some yo-yo tricks in their PE classes. The following week, Feb. 14th - 18th, will be Student Science Week. Throughout the week, students will be participating in daily science experiments in their classroom. As a culminating activity, we invite you to then join us for Science Night on Thursday, Feb. 17th from 6 - 7:30 PM at LGMS. There will be interactive science activities for students, raffle prizes, and a science demonstration. It should be a great time for all.
To end our month, we will be hosting our winter book fair, running in the LMC from Feb. 21st - 25th, and Feb. 28th. It should be a great way to end our month and build some excitement around reading.
As always, thank you for your continued support of Eastview, our Eastview staff, and the Lake Geneva School District. Together, we make a great team for our children.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Erin Zigler
Principal

It is again that time when the Badger FFA is selling delicious, fresh from the field strawberries. These strawberries are the first picks from Plant City, FL, the strawberry capital of the world! Strawberries are picked and placed on a truck to Wisconsin usually on the same day. The Florida Farm Bureau works with family farms to bring us these great strawberries directly.
The delivery date is scheduled for the week of March 14, 2022. We will advise you on the exact date when we know the truck schedule.
Proceeds benefit the members of the FFA through agricultural scholarships and leadership events. The sale will end on February 18, 2022. We are using an online ordering platform to take your order. You will place your order and pay online using the secured website. We will contact you via email when we know the delivery date, and provide contactless delivery to your car on the delivery date. Please ignore any unusual "pick up" date on the invoice. We don't have any way to control that (like the holiday sale).

The prices are:
$30 for a full flat (Only $3.62 per quart container)
$17 for a 1/2 flat (4 lbs)
$10 for a 1/4 flat (2 lbs)

Thank you for your support!
