O’Brien County Conservation recently hosted a poster contest for East Elementary fourth graders. Students were challenged to design a paper bag in any style they chose, as long as it followed the theme “Home Is Where the Habitat Is.”

Selah Bootsma was selected as the winner from our school and received a $10 prize from O’Brien County Conservation. Many outstanding posters were submitted, making it a very tough competition!

Kindness in Action!
The focus of Guidance classes leading up to Christmas was spreading kindness & doing things to show others we care. East students worked on Random Acts of Kindness to spread the spirit of giving to as many people as possible. Kindergarten & 3rd Grade students teamed up for this “RAK,” making Christmas cards to send to members of our military.

Other projects have included thank you cards for custodians, secretaries, nurses, and Mr. G, Christmas-themed locker posters for students, and handmade teacher & staff gifts. Little hands, big hearts, and the spirit of giving is shining bright at East Elementary!

Breakfast is served Monday through Friday!
Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, especially for students. If your student doesn't have time to each breakfast at home, they can eat breakfast at school. Eating breakfast can benefit them in many ways throughout the school day. They are able to concentrate better, are more alert, and can have better test scores! Thank you to our wonderful kitchen staff who serve breakfast at each of our buildings.
Free and reduced applications are available in the school offices, or at https://www.sheldonschools.com/page/free
