Legion Visits 4th Graders
East 4th graders recently received a special visit from the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 26 of Baraboo. For the third year, they shared the powerful story of the red poppy, a symbol of remembrance for those who served. Students learned how the poppy's significance began during World War I in Flanders Fields and how it continues to honor the sacrifices of U.S. military soldiers today. The students then created beautiful posters, that will be displayed throughout the community, as a tribute to our heroes. A heartfelt thank you to the Legion for this important and moving presentation!

Indoor Recess Fun
Even chilly February weather couldn't dampen our spirits! When indoor recess was called, our amazing 5th graders and enthusiastic 4K students teamed up for some heartwarming fun. It was truly beautiful to witness the kindness and care our older students showed, while the 4K kiddos proudly shared their favorite play spaces. A perfect example of how our school community comes together, even when we're stuck inside!

Spreading Cheer to Wisconsin Veterans!
This February, our students joined a meaningful mission: creating Valentine's Day cards for Wisconsin veterans! Partnering with their buddy classrooms, they crafted heartfelt messages of appreciation to be delivered to veterans residing in Wisconsin Department of Veteran Affairs facilities. Inspired by the WDVA's "Valentines for Wisconsin Veterans" initiative, our students learned about the importance of honoring those who have served. Thank you to everyone who participated in this wonderful act of kindness!

EAST SCHOOL PARENT GROUP
The East School Parent Group (ESPG) has many plans underway for ways to support the students and staff at East. The funds we raise throughout the year are used by classroom teachers and to support special school projects and events, such as the Pumpkin Walk and school Carnival!
There are a couple of easy ways to support the ESPG with things you're probably already doing. Follow our facebook page for volunteer opportunities, donate to our Venmo account for special events, and you can even earn money for the school by scanning eligible receipts with the Box Tops for Education app.
We would love to see you at our meetings, held the first Tuesday of each month in the Library at East from 6pm-7pm. Can’t attend? No problem! Visit our Facebook page to just learn more about ways you can help out. If you have any questions about ESPG, send us an email espgbaraboo@gmail.com or a Facebook message.
Future meetings:
April 8th
May 6th
