Dear Eastview Family and Friends,

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 Empathy. During our morning meeting time, we will discuss what empathy means, how we demonstrate empathy to others, and what we can do to model empathy at school. As a part of our February celebration in showing kindness and empathy towards others, 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 13th, we will be kicking off Science Week in our schools. During the week of Feb. 13th - 17th, students will be participating in daily science experiments in their classroom.  Students will have an opportunity to engage in hands-on science experiments and STEM challenge activities, many of which focus on problem solving and team building.  As a culminating activity, we invite you to then join us for Science Night on Thursday, Feb. 16th from 6 - 7:30 PM at LGMS. There will be interactive science activities for students, raffle prizes, and a science demonstration by Mad Science of Milwaukee. 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. 20th through the morning of Feb. 24th.  It should be a great way to wrap up February 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,

Erin Zigler

January's Character Trait of the Month

was "Problem Solving"

These students, chosen from each classroom, were recognized

by their peers for demonstrating a calm, creative approach

to Problem Solving within our school community.

Congratulations to all of you!

Our Quarterly Auction was held at the end of January, and there was enthusiastic bidding for all of the wonderful prizes.

Students had the opportunity to use their hard-earned Eagle Bucks to "purchase" fun items and experiences with teachers and staff. Congratulations to all of the winning bidders!

Congratulations to this month's winner of

Teacher Trivia!

(the answer was Ms. Harkey!)

School attendance is very important, and we encourage families to make sure their children are in school as much as possible. However, children who are sick need to stay home for their well-being and to prevent others from becoming sick.
