Eagle Parents:

  

Save The Date Music Programs Coming                        March 9, 2017   Parents, Grandparents, Friends and Neighbors,                      Please mark your calendars for Thursday, March 9th when the 1st grade and 2nd grade music programs will be presented in the Eagle Elementary gymnasium at 6:30 PM (1st) and 7:30 (2nd) PM. Rehearsals have begun and the students are anxious to perform for you.     The First Grade program is titled "My Favorite Things" and uses the song of the same title from "The Sound of Music" as the theme song. Other songs like "How Much is that Doggie in the Window?" and "On Top of Spaghetti" are two examples of songs that express some of the things that our first graders really enjoy and will be expressing through their songs. Students should dress in colorful outfits. Spring will be on our minds by that time and the children should be an expression of spring color and fashion. Specific colors are not required.    Second Grade's theme is "Keep American Singing" with a focus on early American Folksongs and Spirituals. Students should dress in neat and clean blue jeans or other dark pants (not sweat pants) and shirts with patriotic symbols or just plain red, white and blue. You could accent your outfit with a bandana around the neck if desired. Our songs are folk tunes and spirituals from early American history. Look around the house and see what you can find to enhance our theme. We are not looking for any specific costume.                                                                Finally, please be looking for a paper to come home in mid-February asking for parental assistance with our program. After you consider how you might help, you can just return the paper to school with your student. We thank you in advance for your help.    There will be more information coming home later. As always, we appreciate your support!    Mrs. Shelley Sparks Eagle Elementary Music Teacher

ALL sizes. We have the greatest need for size 5/6 and 10/12 and 14. Any donations are greatly appreciated.   So What About SLEEP?                               Everybody struggles with sleep from time to time. We know that a bad night now and then can cause some major problems with our ability to function at our best.   Children can also struggle to get adequate rest. The National Sleep Foundation recommends children ages 5 to 12 get 10 to 11 hours of sleep each night. The right amount of sleep helps a student pay attention better in school and be a more creative learner and problem solver. A well-rested student will also be healthier and have more stable moods. All in all, a student who gets good sleep interacts better with parents, siblings, teachers and friends!   Here are some tips to help your students sleep well: Make sure their bedroom is cool, dark and quiet. Set them a regular scheduled bedtime, and stick to it. Don't allow any caffeine at 5pm. Encourage running and playing after school, but not too close to time to go to bed. Make the bedtime snack light and healthy, not heavy and greasy - no big meals within 2 hours of bedtime. Set a routine and do it exactly the same way every night...a bath or shower, reading, listening to quiet music, dimming the lights-and no screen time for the hour before bed! A routine trains their bodies to get ready for sleep. For more information about good sleep habits, search SLEEP FOR KIDS-A Service of the National Sleep Foundation.

Random Acts of Flowers

Eagle Elementary is working with the Interact Club Seniors at Brownsburg High School with accepting donations for Vases. The Vases will be used for a program called Random Acts of Flowers and will be donated to local hospitals. The Vases that are donated will be filled with flowers and then donated to patients that have extended hospital stays. Eagle will have a donation box in the Front Office. A member of the Club will stop by the School twice a month to collect the Vases.
