Congratulations to the newest members of the Eastland Music Department! Last night, 5th grade band students (and their family members!!) participated in their 1st band lesson taught by specialists for each instrument. It was a wonderful night of 1st sounds!! We’re going to have a great year of music making!!
These two students received a PERFECT score on their English Language Arts Illinois Assessment of Readiness test. This is a HUGE accomplishment and we are so proud of them!
Congratulations!

Mrs. Blair's 2nd grade enrichment group continued their work with community service by drawing photos of animals that need homes for Safe Haven Humane Society in Elizabeth, IL. They hope their drawings will help get these animals adopted!

Due to maintenance issues at the Lake Carroll Pool, we will be pushing the EJSHS PE trip to next week on Wednesday (8/28) and Thursday (8/29). We will not be going to the pool this week. Apologies for the inconvenience. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

’Twas the night before school, and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even a cougar.
The backpacks were hung by the door with care,
In hopes that the morning soon would be there.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of pencils danced in their heads.
With shoes by the door and lunchboxes packed,
They dreamed of the fun when the school year was back.
The sun soon would rise on a new school year,
With fresh books, new friends, and no need to fear.
They whispered goodnight, turned off the light,
“Happy school year to all, and to all a good night!”
