This year, Eastside families helped build a Traditions Tree by sharing a family tradition on an ornament. We think it turned out pretty well.
We wish you a holiday season of peace and togetherness as you enjoy your traditions with your families.











Pre-k enjoyed learning about reindeer, holiday dress up and holidays around the world.

Winter Wonderland in 5th Grade


4th & 5th graders crushed it during our PE Jump Rope Challenge! 🎯 Students worked hard to conquer and sign off on each level by completing 5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and even 200 consecutive jumps. The energy and excitement were contagious—and even some of our EES teachers jumped in (literally)! 🏆 Way to go, everyone!




Dressed like it's a Winter Wonderland.


Fifth graders are learning about electricity.



The K-Kids Club will be collecting money for the Empty Stocking Fund next Tuesday and Wednesday. The members will come by your room at 7:30 on those days to collect.


Mr. Cummings and Mrs. Carlton are essential members of the Eastside family. They tirelessly work to bring fun, engaging lessons to their classes. We are so blessed to have them at our school!


Merry Christmas from the Kindergarten team!


Reindeer Lane is coming next week. Each class will have a scheduled day and time to visit for shopping. Please be sure your student has a list of names they want to shop for.
